Which city is the second largest city in the UK?

Think about population within the city’s official boundaries. London is the biggest, and the next biggest is Birmingham, with about a million people living inside its city limits. Leeds, Glasgow, and Liverpool all have smaller populations within their own boundaries, so they rank below Birmingham. In other words, when you count people living in the city itself, Birmingham is the second-largest in the UK.
