The nicknames of the United Kingdom's cities
Posted by Dan | Dec 5th, 2021 - 8:13pm
The United Kingdom has a strange and varied collection of nicknames assigned to its cities - while not all of them positive, most are fairly appropriate to describe the land, its natives and the local landmarks. Sometimes cities even share nicknames, so for this quiz, we have picked a selection of them so as to help you narrow down the correct city choice. Obviously, if the nickname includes too much of the cities actual name we have had to omit those, but we have tried to keep a nice selection of different nicknames wherever possible! Just take a gander at these 10 questions and correctly identify which city holds those monikers...
