Which are the largest 5 English cities in terms of population, and by area ?

[Quizmonster]

Click http://www.demographia.com/db-ukcities.htm for populations in 2000 of top English cities. Area is a different matter...for example, the actual City of London is strictly just a square mile. I'll leave this aspect to someone else!

London, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham

From Quizmaster's answer we find largest, in descending order of population, are; London, B'ham, Leeds, Sheffield, L'pool. jif2003 gives another list. Would this be by area??
