The cities of England

A small introduction

 England has many cities and towns,being a big country

with a wide population.However,there are some of them
that tend to catch your eye’s attention the most with
their beautifull places,people living there and technical
development that others lack.
London

 It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at

the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North
Sea, and has been a major settlement for two millennia.
The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre,
was founded by the Roman as Londinium and retains
boundaries close to its medieval ones. London, as one of
the world's global cities, exerts strong influence on
its arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, fi
nance, health care, media, tourism,
and communications, and therefore has sometimes been
called the capital of the world.
 With Europe's largest concentration of higher education
institution,it includes Imperial College London in natural
and applied sciences, the London School of Economics in
social sciences, and the comprehensive University College
London.The city is home to the most 5-star hotels of any
city in the world. In 2012, London became the first city to
host three Summer Olympic Games.
 London's diverse cultures encompass over 300 languages.
The mid-2018 population of Greater London of about 9
million made it Europe's third-most populous city,
accounting for 13.4% of the population of the United
Kingdom. Greater London Built-up Area is the fourth-most
populous in Europe, after Istanbul, Moscow and Paris, with
about 9.8 million inhabitants at the 2011 census. The
London metropolitan area is the third-most populous in
Europe after Istanbul's and Moscow's, with about 14
million inhabitants in 2016.
 London is the seat of the Government of the United
Kingdom. Many government departments, as well as the
prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street, are
based close to the Palace of Westminster, particularly
along Whitehall. There are 73 members of Parliament
(MPs) from London, elected from local parliamentary
constituencies in the national Parliament. As of December
2019, 49 are from the Labour Party, 21 are Conservatives,
and three are Liberal Democrat. The ministerial post of
minister for London was created in 1994. The current
Minister for London is Paul Scully.
Liverpool
 Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in
Merseyside, England. With a population of 498,042 in
2019, it is the tenth largest English district by population,
and its metropolitan area is the fifth largest in the United
Kingdom with a population of 2.24 million. Situated on the
eastern side of the Mersey Estuary, Liverpool historically
lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in the
county of Lancashire. It became a borough in 1207, a city
in 1880, and a county borough independent of the newly-
created Lancashire County Council in 1889.
 Along with general cargo, freight, and raw materials such
as coal and cotton, merchants were involved in the slave
trade. In the 19th century, Liverpool was a major port of
departure for English and Irish emigrants to North
America. In 2019, Liverpool was the fifth most visited UK
city. It is noted for its culture, architecture, and transport
links. The city is closely associated with the arts,
especially music; the popularity of the Beatles, widely
regarded as the most influential band of all time, led to it
becoming a tourist destination.
 Liverpool has continued to be the home of numerous
notable musicians.The former Liverpool Maritime
Mercantile City includes the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and
William Brown Street. In sports, the city is best known for
being the home of Premier League football teams
Liverpool FC and Everton FC, with matches between the
two rivals being known as the Merseyside derby. The
annual Grand National horse race takes place at Aintree
Racecourse.
 By the start of the 19th century, a large volume of trade
was passing through Liverpool, and the construction of
major buildings reflected this wealth. In 1830, Liverpool
and Manchester became the first cities to have an
intercity rail link, through the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway. The population continued to rise rapidly,
especially during the 1840s when Irish migrants began
arriving by the hundreds of thousands as a result of the
Great Famine.
Sheffield
 Sheffield is a city in England , in the county of South
Yorkshire . Historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire
. The name comes from the Shif River , which flows
through the city. Together with some southern suburbs
annexed from DerbyshireListen, the city has grown from
its mostly industrial roots to a vast city-forming economic
base. It has a population of 575,400 (mid-2016) and is one
of the eight major regional centers that form the Group of
Major Cities in England.
 The city is located at the foot of the Pennines , in the
valley of the Don River and its four tributaries: Loxley [en]
, Porter , Rivelin and Shifa . 61% of Sheffield is green
space , and a third of the city is within the Peak District
National Park . The city has over 250 parks, woodlands
and gardens, and an estimated 4.5 million trees, giving
Sheffield the highest number of trees per person of any
city in Europe.
 During the 19th century, the city gained international
fame for its steel production. Many local innovations, such
as steel crucible smelting and the creation of stainless
steel , fueled the city's nearly tenfold population growth
during the Industrial Revolution . Sheffield became a
municipality in 1843 and a city in 1893 . International
competition in the iron and steel industry caused a
decline in traditional local industries in the 1970s and
1980s, coinciding with the wholesale closure of coal mines
in the region.
 The city has a long sporting history and is home to the
world's oldest football club , Sheffield . Games between
two Sheffield professional football clubs Sheffield United
and Sheffield Wednesday are known as the Steel City
Derby . The city hosts an annual World Snooker
Championship .Like the rest of the United Kingdom,
Sheffield has a temperate climate . The Pennines to the
west of the city can create a cool, dreary, and damp
environment, but they also provide protection from the
prevailing westerly winds, creating only a "rain shadow" in
the area. [43] Between 1971 and 2000, Sheffield received
an average of 824.7 mm of rain per year; December was
the wettest month with 91.9mm and July the driest with
51mm.
