But I did dig up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratford_City and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_City,_London even though they don't ring any bells as being ones I read about. There's also Rochester, which used to be a city but no longer is because the unitary authority cocked up. And St David's, which was a city, then wasn't a city, and is back to being a city again, even though it has a population of 2,000 and is really just a small town by OSM standards and by just about anybody else's standards. -- Paul
