Closed Recommend all of Greater London for ‘city status’ through royal charter

Closed on

City status in the United Kingdom is granted by the monarch, and there are currently 69 cities in the UK - London is not one of them. Both the City of London (Square Mile) and the City of Westminster are classed as cities but London as a whole does not have city status

As the UK’s capital, all of London (Greater London) should have city status
