This website provides those Key Facts about UK Towns and Cities which help to instill civic pride amongst their citizens.  These include details of towns with the civic honours of city status and/or a lord mayoralty or those which  have a university or a cathedral. Other factors which boost civic pride  include having a good football team or winning the national Britain in Bloom competition, and this website will show which towns and cities have been the most successful. Finally being connected with famous people or having a sizeable population can also contribute to a sense of civic pride, and the latest census population figures for all towns over 100,000 are included.

To find information about a specific UK town or city look at the Town Profiles page or use the search box above.
