1. London - 9,304,000
London, UK
Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, London, UK.
London (baby!) is far and away the largest population center in the United Kingdom. It is the country's capital (one of the world's oldest), economic center, most prominent transportation hub, home of the British monarchy, and the place to be for everything related to culture and tourism. Located in Southeastern England, along the River Thames, London is made up of a dense, complex, and exciting gridless structure - with monuments to its great, nearly-2,000-year-old history scattered throughout. And, of course, London leads the charge in higher education, with Imperial College London, University College London, London School of Economics and Political Science, and King's College London all scoring high on the World University Rank for 2022.
