Westminster is a borough of London, which served as the abbey and hospital for the aristocracy during the Industrial Revolution, excluding the city's poor almost entirely.

History

The borough contained a number of notable residences, such as 10 Downing Street, Dover House, Montagu House, Richmond Terrace, Buckingham Palace, and the Palace of Westminster.^[1]

In 1851, the Crystal Palace was constructed in Hyde Park and housed the circus act, the Aurora Equestrian Troupe. Within the last of their acts, one of its acrobats, Pierrette Arnaud, saved Countess Ada Lovelace from a gang of thugs and escorted her home from the grounds.^[2] Nearly eleven years later, the Assassin Simeon Price was brought to court at the Horse Guards for desertion. However, he was later freed and excused from his crime, due to the aid of Byron Ockham, son of his late friend, Ada Lovelace.^[3]

The borough were overseen by the Templar Lilla Graves; to take over Westminster, Jacob and Evie Frye had to take down several threats. When they were dealt with, a Gang war would be arranged to take down the Templars grip on the borough for good.^[1]
