Demography
According to the 2001 census the borough had a population of 181,279. Westminster City Council undertook several studies, supported by both political parties on the council, that indicated that this figure was too low.

The official population is now 198,779, but some estimates put it at 220,000. 73% of the population are white, 4% Black African and 3% Indian. 35% of households are owner-occupiers.
