For local government purposes, England is divided into three types of areas - non-unitary authorities, Unitary Authorities, and London boroughs.
Non-unitary authorities are administrative counties that are subdivided into a number of districts, which have district councils. Unitary Authorities are either administrative counties consisting of a single district, or districts of a county with no county council. The council of a Unitary Authorities are referred to as "district council", unless it converges with a borough, city, or historic county (in the cases of Rutland and Herefordshire), in which case it is called a "borough council", "city council" or "county council".
Greater London has no county council; the 32 borough councils are the highest authority, although the Greater London Authority exists to coordinate their activities.
England is also divided into governmental regions:
Greater London, South East England, South West England, East of England, East Midlands, West Midlands, North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber and North East England.
