10 Downing Street


Hello.

This week I have been researching 10 Downing Street.

It is the home of the British Prime Minister, their office and where they entertain guests such as The Queen, The President of the United States, and other world leaders. It is one of the most famous addresses in the world.

The building is over 300 years old and contains about one hundred rooms including a kitchen, basement, offices and a reception.

Some of the most famous political figures who have lived at number 10 include:
  • Robert Walpole
  • Pitt The Younger
  • Benjamin Disraeli
  • William Gladstone
  • David Lloyd George
  • Winston Church
  • Margaret Thatcher
Below is a picture of 10 Downing Street:

Next I will be researching other landmarks including the Olympic Stadium.
