The City of Wesminster is the seat of parliament, monarch and courts
since Henry IV. In every meanigful sense it's the capital of England.
The City of London is just more famous.


Hosting a parliament does not make somewhere a capital city, as will be
found in a number of countries (including the UK). Westminster is only
one place which has a royal palace. Nil points.

m-w.com, capital [sense 2] 3 b: being the seat of government

Nil points for you, I'm afraid.
