Downing Street, Political street in Westminster, United Kingdom.
Downing Street extends approximately 200 meters from Whitehall, containing the residences of the Prime Minister at Number 10 and Chancellor at Number 11.
Sir George Downing constructed the original row of 15 townhouses in the 1680s, following designs by architect Christopher Wren near St James's Park.
The street functions as the center of British governance, where cabinet meetings occur and international diplomatic receptions take place regularly.
Access to Downing Street requires security clearance, with armed police monitoring the gates that restrict public entry to this governmental complex.
The buildings at Number 10 incorporate three merged houses and contain over 100 rooms, including offices for government operations and living quarters.
