English town

UK urban settlement

A town in England, or a town with characteristics associated with English settlements—often suggesting historic architecture, pubs, village greens, or quaint charm: We spent the weekend exploring small English towns in the Cotswolds.

The phrase is descriptive rather than a fixed term.
