Bradford is a city in West Yorkshire, England. It became a municipal borough in 1847, received a city charter in 1897 and, since the 1974 reform, the city status has belonged to the larger City of Bradford metropolitan borough. In the 2021 census, the city itself had a population of 352,317, making it the second-largest subdivision of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area after Leeds, which is approximately 9 mi (14 km) to the east. The wider metropolitan borough had a population of 546,976 at the same census, making it one of the most populous districts in England.

Bradford is a city that is steeped in history. It was once the wool capital of the world and played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution. Today, you can see the remnants of its past in the well-preserved architecture, museums, and galleries that dot the city. One of the most notable attractions is the National Science and Media Museum, which showcases the history of film and photography and is home to the UK's first IMAX cinema.

But Bradford is more than just a city of the past. It's also a vibrant and diverse community that celebrates its cultural heritage. The city is home to one of the largest South Asian communities in the UK, which is reflected in the numerous restaurants, markets, and festivals that take place throughout the year. The annual Bradford Festival, which features music, dance, and theater performances, is a highlight for locals and visitors alike.
