11 Downing Street, Grade I listed residence in Westminster, England

The yellow-brick Georgian building at 11 Downing Street connects to numbers 10 and 12, forming part of the British government ministerial complex.

The residence became the official home of Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1828, following Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice's first occupancy in 1806.

The dining room features Sir John Soane's architectural design with vaulted ceilings and light-wells, hosting government business meetings and formal gatherings.

The residential apartment above Number 11 contains more living space than Number 10, leading several Prime Ministers to choose it as their family residence.

The staircase displays political cartoons and caricatures of past Chancellors, with each official selecting their own representation for the collection.
