The suspects were wearing what appeared to be fake suicide vests, police said.
One of the men suspected of being involved in the attack was shown in a photograph lying on the ground with canisters strapped to his body after he was shot by the police.
The attack came days ahead of a June 8 general election, almost two weeks after 22 people were killed in a bombing at a concert in Manchester.
In March, another attacker drove his car into pedestrians near Westminster, killing four civilians and one police officer before being killed himself.
