Downing Street is one of the most famous addresses in the world and the heart of British politics.
00:08
Located in central London, it's home to the UK's Prime Minister and the Chancellor of
00:13
the Exchequer.
00:14
The most iconic building, Number 10 Downing Street, has been the official residence of
00:19
the Prime Minister since 1735.
00:22
Behind its famous black door, key government decisions are made from economic policy to
00:27
foreign affairs.
00:28
Just next door, Number 11, houses the Chancellor, the government's top finance official.
00:35
The street itself was built in the 1680s by Sir George Downing, who served under both Oliver
00:41
Cromwell and King Charles II.
