Examples of metro mayors include the mayor of London, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and the mayor of the West Midlands. County leaders are due to be directly elected in Norfolk and Suffolk in 2024.

Since 2019 the role of Mayor of Torbay has reverted to being a largely ceremonial position chairing council meetings and acting as the area's first citizen, with the position usually being held by a different councillor each year, as it had also been between the borough's creation in 1968 and 2005.
