Items strewn around part of the capital (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

westminster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the capital' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'items strewn around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'items'+'strewn'='itemsstrewn'
'itemsstrewn' with letters rearranged gives 'WESTMINSTER'.

'part of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for westminster that I've seen before include "London borough and cathedral" , "London borough - abbey - parliament" , "Houses of Parliament borough" , "(Seat of) Parliament" , "public school" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
