Summary of Number 10 Downing Street
Number 10 Downing Street
10 Downing Street
London, United Kingdom SW1
Ever since Sir Robert Walpole took up residence here in 1721, this rather ordinary, dark brick townhouse has been the official residence for Britains prime ministers. Behind the world-famous front entrance, with its black door guarded vigilantly by a good old British “bobby”, lies a network of formal rooms, offices, private apartments, kitchens and cellars. While access to the general public is strictly forbidden, the Blairs allow several hundred school children, selected by visiting MPs, to visit the residence each year. Not bad, considering the Blairs dont even have their own key.
