Location
The borough of Westminster shared its north and north-eastern borders with Camden, the southern part of its eastern border with the City of London, its western border with Kensington and its north-western border with Brent. Its southern border was the River Thames, across which was Wandsworth to the west and Lambeth to the east. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen)

Later history
Westminster was one of the forefronts of the Dalek's invasion in the 22nd century. A Dalek Saucer attacked London. The British government put all their best defences into battle against them, sending the Air Force's helicopters and fighters to attack the Dalek ship. Tanks fought across the streets, and the Navy fought with gunboats. The humans were persistent, destroying many Daleks, but in a matter of days the Daleks subjugated the humans.
