The History of 10 DOWNING STREET
#10downingstreet #downingstreet #whitehall
On the eve of a General Election, I look at the history of one of Britain's most iconic buildings, Number 10 Downing Street, the official residence and home of the United Kingdom's Prime Minister. I look at how the building came into being as two houses within the palace of Henry VIII's Tudor Palace of Whitehall and how it was the home of nobles and royals. I look at why it is called Downing Street and its development after it was given to Sir Robert Walpole as an official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury. Moving through to the present, I will give you a guided tour of some of the principal historic rooms within the modern 10 Downing Street.

Sue Gray has quit as Downing Street chief of staff because of fears she was “becoming a distraction” to Sir Keir Starmer’s Government.
There have been reports of tensions in Number 10 involving Ms Gray, including between her and Sir Keir’s chief adviser, Morgan McSweeney, who will succeed her in the role.
In a statement on Sunday, Ms Gray said she was “pleased to have accepted a new role as the Prime Minister’s envoy for the regions and nations”.
Sir Keir thanked Ms Gray for “all the support she has given me, both in Opposition and Government, and her work to prepare us for government and get us started on our programme of change.
“Sue has played a vital role in strengthening our relations with the regions and nations. I am delighted that she will continue to support that work.”
In a statement, she said: “It has been an honour to take on the role of chief of staff, and to play my part in the delivery of a Labour Government.
“Throughout my career my first interest has always been public service.
“However, in recent weeks it has become clear to me that intense commentary around my position risked becoming a distraction to the Government’s vital work of change.
“It is for that reason I have chosen to stand aside, and I look forward to continuing to support the Prime Minister in my new role.”
Last month, it was leaked to the BBC that Ms Gray was earning more than the Prime Minister, amid a series of briefings against her as chief of staff.

On the eve of a General Election, I look at the history of one of Britain's most iconic buildings, Number 10 Downing Street, the official residence and home of the United Kingdom's Prime Minister. I look at how the building came into being as two houses within the palace of Henry VIII's Tudor Palace of Whitehall and how it was the home of nobles and royals. I look at why it is called Downing Street and its development after it was given to Sir Robert Walpole as an official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury. Moving through to the present, I will give you a guided tour of some of the principal historic rooms within the modern 10 Downing Street.
