In London I have just used hamlet/village/town to denote these different kinds of centres/areas. Others seem to follow this approach too. It's obviously not strictly speaking correct, and I've no idea if anyone has reviewed them all to see if there is a consistent application. I tend to just go by factors like the size of the shopping area, administrative importance etc. to judge if it should be a hamlet/village/town. The solution would be to have several levels of suburb with guidelines.
