 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox UK place/doc. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Unlike in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where there is a uniform pattern of local government, places in England are, broadly speaking, in one of several categories:
- Places in London (see here)
- Places in unitary authority areas (see here)
- Places in metropolitan counties
- Places in 'two-tier' shire counties
Metropolitan county edit
- Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Tyne and Wear, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, West Midlands.
