The subdivisions of England constitute a hierarchy of administrative divisions and non-administrative ceremonial areas.

Overall, England is divided into nine regions and 48 ceremonial counties, although these have only a limited role in public policy.

In some areas, counties and districts form a two-tier administrative structure, while in others they are combined under a unitary authority.

There are two tiers of local government subdivision - (administrative) counties and districts (known as boroughs in London).

It was renamed but otherwise unreformed by the changes in local government that occurred in 1974 in the rest of England outside Greater London.

At the highest level, all of England is divided into nine regions that are each made up of a number of counties and districts.

The regions vary greatly in their areas covered, populations and contributions to the national economy.

[needs update] For non-administrative purposes, England is wholly divided into 48 ceremonial counties.

[14] These are used for the purposes of appointing Lords Lieutenant[14] who are the Crown's representatives in those areas as well as a way of grouping non-metropolitan counties.
