I'm surprised that Blackpool, Dover, Reading and Ipswich aren't on the list. Maybe they are famous yet small or "swallowed" by bigger cities.

A city in the United Kingdom has nothing to do with size - St David's has a population of 3,000. It's more to do with cultural significance; it used to be defined by being a settlement with a cathedral, but the definition has widened since then.

"Ipswich" The ones created since 2000 are linked to the Queen's Jubliee- at least that's how Brighton&Hove was created. Tricky quiz; couldn't believe I missed some of the more obvious ones while getting the lesser known ones. The boroughs of London as cities are tricksy.

not to mention towns like Guildford, which have a (recent) cathedral but aren't cities

You've missed Medway (or Rochester if Medway doesn't fit the criteria). There is a cathedral here so it is counted as a city

Everyone seems obsessed with Dover on this quiz. I don't know why, it's not even a particularly large town (yes, it's a town, not a city).

Dover is absolutely not a city and never should be. Small town which just happens to be famous for a couple of things. It would make a mockery of City status if it ever got it and I live there!

50 out of 79. Not bad for a Virginia (US) farmer. After the major cities, I just started typing towns and counties in Virginia and North Carolina. I guessed 20+ that way. Some were guesses from watching Downton Abbey (Ripon). Thanks for not making us list "upon" or "on" since I never can remember those.

Um ... Brechin. It IS a city because it has a cathedral, and also its Football team is Brechin City - however I have lost this argument before! the trouble is that Britain has never quite worked out how to define cities. So you get ancient cities (such as Brecon, with a Cathedral and a diocese) that somehow 'lose' their accreditation - awkward. But 'modern' chartered cities that do not seem to have to re-apply. Anyway good fun.
