British town
English market village
A British town is a settlement in the United Kingdom larger than a village but typically smaller than a city, though the distinction is imprecise and often historical rather than demographic.
Towns traditionally had market rights or other charters.
The phrase also evokes a particular aesthetic: narrow streets, Victorian terraces, high street shops, and pubs: a dreary British town in the Midlands, one of those charming British towns with a castle ruin.
