Introduction

Number 10 Downing Street, located in the heart of London, is an elegant Georgian building that has been at the center of British politics from the past to the present. Originally the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, it is now the residence of the British Prime Minister with the changing of powers. Its plain façade is marked with the prominent number "10" and is particularly eye-catching. In addition to serving as the residence of the Prime Minister and headquarters of government institutions, Number 10 Downing Street is also a workplace for many political figures such as the Prime Minister's secretary, assistants, and advisors. Nonetheless, visitors cannot enter the 10 Downing Street gate and can only admire it from afar on both sides of Downing Street, separated by tall iron railings.
