UK City Detector
Paste your text and see every UK city mentioned highlighted instantly.
How the UK city detector works
Paste any text and the tool scans it against a list of UK cities and towns, highlighting every place name it finds and showing you the sentences that mention them. It's a quick way to pull location data out of articles, reports, reviews, or survey responses without reading every line yourself.
Journalists, researchers, and content creators use it to map where a piece of writing is focused, to tag content by location, or to check coverage across different parts of the UK.
Frequently asked questions
Which places does it detect?
It matches a curated list of UK cities and major towns. Matching ignores capitalisation, so "manchester" and "Manchester" are both detected and highlighted in context.
Does it work with long documents?
Yes. You can paste up to 25,000 characters at a time, and every matching sentence is listed with the city name highlighted.
Is my text stored?
No. Text is sent to our server only to run the detection and is not stored or logged.
