England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have slightly different systems.
in England, it is the most complicated.
There are counties, which are divided into Districts. Eg Oxfordshire (county town Oxford). These are mostly rural areas which contain some towns and maybe a city.
There are Metropolitan Counties which are divided into Metropolitan Boroughs eg Greater Manchester. These are mainly urban areas.
There are Unitary Authorities eg Southampton. These are quite small and will be centred around a town or city.
There is also Greater London, which is divided into London Boroughs. It's mostly urban.
There are also small parish and town councils that look after local affairs under the umbrella of District councils
There are County Constituencies (mostly rural) and Borough Constituencies (mostly urban) that send representatives to Westminster Parliament in London.
There are also Historic Counties that exist but are no longer used for administration (eg Cumberland). They often have different boundaries to modern administrative counties with the same name (eg Lancashire).
Whole UK of which England one part, a mish mash.....Have in England Counties, cities, Metropolitan Boroughs, which form big conurbations like Greater Manchester, West Midlands, West Yorkshire etc...plus London Boroughs (plus City of Westminster & City Of London (Financial district)..) which are Greater London.....
There are counties. London was in Middlesex, but, the city is now larger than the country. York is subdivided into 3, as it is the largest county. Wales, and Scotland are separate countries. Sort of.
