Answer
Hello Onur.
The population of England and Wales rose from about 4.5 million in 1600 to 5.5 million in 1700. In London it rose from about 200,000 to over 450,000 in the same period.
In the 1600s an average provincial town had a population of around 5,000. The three largest after London were York, Norwich and Bristol with about 25,000 each.

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
