The district that houses Parliament's main buildings is called what?

Parliament’s main buildings are in the Palace of Westminster, which sits in the district of Westminster in central London, along the north bank of the River Thames. This area is so closely associated with the UK government that “Westminster” is often used to refer to Parliament itself. The other places—Canary Wharf as a business district in Docklands, Chelsea as a west London area, and Greenwich as a historic district in southeast London—are not where Parliament is located.
