Introduction
I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.

I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.
Those based in the UK can use the #teamuk tag for an extra vote. If you see people using it on non-relevant posts then drop them a friendly comment to point out that is not encouraged.
The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.
The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version.

What it means
The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:
- Active as above.
- Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
- Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.
I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile.
Commentary
I had hopes of a nice rise this month, but an increase in the south east was countered by people going inactive elsewhere. I have over 700 people in my file, but less than a third are active. I have updated my script so that those who have done nothing in the last year will not appear at all until they post, comment or vote again. I need to review this change as it means the script takes a lot longer to run now. That is not a big deal really as I only run it once each month.
The issues are always the same. We need people to stay active whilst getting more on board. I get that some become disillusioned if they are not earning much and the price is falling, but earning anything online is hard elsewhere. People need to find what interests them on Hive. I have recruited several musicians and some of them do the open mic challenges. There are all sorts of communities too as well as games and investment opportunities.
I use the @strava2hive dapp to post my running here. I may try advertising that amongst my parkrun friends.
Meetups
I am not aware of any upcoming UK events, but please let me know if you are organising something. I am thinking of doing one that may involve a nature walk near Hitchin (easy to get to by train from London) and a pub may be involved. Meetups do not have to be anything fancy. Just find a venue and set a time. When Hivers get together interesting conversations happen.

This shows the numbers in each category of the active and voting accounts. Level is based on 'VESTS'. Minnow equates to a million VESTS, which is 559.31HP and each level is 10x the previous.
This shows when people joined Hive. The last few months are shown separately to make any changes obvious.

Thanks for the info. So expats can also use the #teamuk? That's cool, I have just been encouraged to start writing again. I miss the pubs in England and would have loved a meet up, we do this for our Splinterlands Community here in the PH. In the Philippines, especially where I live, pubs are are non existent. I did start a bar where I prepare an Bangers & Mash, Fish & Chips and of course an English Carvery as best as I can.
Sounds like you still have the British spirit, so I would think it's okay to use the tag. I don't control the votes from it, so the owner has the final say. We do see some abuse of it, but it's not like they will make much.
I feel for you if you can't get good beer.
!BEER is not quite the same.
Actually PH has some decent Beer and it's a lot cheaper, not sure how much a pint is anymore but a beer here is about 1GBP. What's hard to get is some decent English Sausages or a White meat fish (For Fish & Chips of course), I have to have them transported in from Manila as I live out in the provinces. I know it sounds funny but I miss waking up and it's freezing, being tucked up in the duvet and having the heater on, haha. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

BEERKING.Hi @steevc - Thanks for the updated list. I like your idea of advertising through your #parkrun - I was going thing to create an Actifit/Hive t-shirt for similar reasons.
I would like to introduce @jgiordi who is a friend of mine who onboarded recently. Hopefully an active user for your list next month.
My script found them :) Good to have them verified by you. New users can need some hand-holding as they figure things out.

Good to meet you @steevc and thanks for the intro @awah. I've been figuring things out this week. Am actually surprised to find a very good community on this distributed system. Very good support network and very good tech platform. I look forward to contributing further here. Much appreciated

Many thanks for the update @steevc
Some new-to-me names this month.
A nature walk sounds grand 😍
Hi Steve, good to see the numbers are holding up even in the winter. I'm just about ready to come out of hibernation lol
I'm fully rested and restored. 💯👍🏼
Welcome back. Lots happening on Hive. We do need to get some meetups going. The one in London last year was fun, but it had been a while.
Thank you. Yep I missed the last London meetup unfortunately.
We'll have to get something organised.👍🏼
Easter maybe?
Thank you very much for the update! Your work is much appreciated by all of us 😊
Thanks for another britlist and all the good stuff you do @steevc!
Cheers. Just doing my little bit to help.

As I am not British but live recently in Scotland. (Hubby is British though)
Have an awesome weekend everybody 👋🏻😊
