third city of the uk

Birmingham/Manchester.
theres no official second or third city of the u.k although it is usually regarded as manchester or birmingham.
manchester has the cultural edge with its art and music scenes. birmingham has a population nearly twice the size of the city of manchester and is why it is sometimes called britains second city, but if that is that is the case the city of london without the rest of greater london boroughs has a population just over a fifth of that of stockport.the west midlands conurbatiion and the greater manchester conurbation both have a population of around 2 million and is why manchester is the u.k's second city.

birmingham is the third city of the uk
