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.
