Number of civil partnerships in the UK 2005-2019
In 2020 the number of civil partnerships in the United Kingdom reached their highest levels since 2014, with 1,180 taking place. In 2005, the first year in this time period, the figure is comparatively low, due to the fact that the first civil partnership weren't able to take place until December 5, of that year. After that, in 2006, the numbers increased dramatically and stayed at high levels until 2014, when same-sex marriages were able to be performed in England and Wales.
