For the area of London, see Westminster (GTA London).

Westminster is a neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located on the western waterfront of Algonquin, Liberty City.

Description[]

Westminster is bordered to the north by Lorimar Street (Purgatory); to the east by Frankfort Avenue (Star Junction); to the south by an access road to Union Drive West (The Meat Quarter); and to the west by the West River.

Much like The Meat Quarter, its neighbor to the south, Westminster is a mixed-use district made up of office buildings on Frankfort Avenue and a handful of warehouses along Union Drive West, along with some tenements. The neighborhood is renounded for its glamorous night life, being home to the iconic Maisonette 9 and Hercules nightclubs. A public housing project is located on Galveston Avenue and Jade Street. The neighborhood has a police station on Kunzite Street and a fire station on Frankfort Avenue.

The waterfront of Westminster appears to have undergone significant renovations. The piers, along with the waterfront marina in The Meat Quarter, are collectively referred to as Golden Pier, a commercial and recreational complex.

The Westminster Disused Subway Spur, a disused railway track of the Liberty City Subway, runs over the neighborhood and terminates at The Meat Quarter.

Influence[]

Westminster's name may be based on the City of Westminster, in England or on that of Chelsea and Greenwich Village on the West Side of Manhattan. All three locations they are based on are districts in London (Westminster, Chelsea and Greenwich), and both GTA IV's Westminster and the West Side's Chelsea and Greenwich Village are bound by roughly the same geographical features and streets.

The general design of the district is alike that of The Meat Quarter, with the areas closer to the coast bearing similarities to Gansevoort Market, also known as the Meatpacking District, in Manhattan, while the areas bordering Frankfort Avenue are more generic, heavily developed commercial and residential areas, similar to Chelsea. Golden Pier and the coastal design of Westminster (as well as The Meat Quarter) are also based on the Chelsea Piers.
