The City of Westminster is a London borough and a city in its own right, situated to the west of the City of London and north of the River Thames. It was extended in 1965 to include the former Metropolitan Boroughs of St. Marylebone and Paddington in the north. The city contains most of London's West End, as well as the permanent headquarters of the United Kingdom's government, with the Palace of Westminster, Whitehall, and the Royal Courts of Justice.

Demographics

According to the 2001 census the borough had a population of 181,279. Westminster City Council undertook several studies which have shown higher populations as part of a campaign (supported by both political parties on the council) to have the population estimate raised, which would increase its grant from the United Kingdom Government. The Office for National Statistics eventually came to an agreement which added 17,500 people to Westminster's population. While the official population is now 198,779, more realistic estimates put it at 220,000. 73% of the population are White, 4% Black African and 3% Indian. 35% of households are owner-occupiers.
