'''City status in the United Kingdom''' is granted by the monarch. Until the 19th century, city status was associated with the presence of an Anglican cathedral, an association that arose in the time of [[Henry VIII]]; cities with cathedrals are often referred to as '''cathedral cities'''. Unlike many other countries, cities do not have to meet specific size criteria.
