People Also Ask
Q:What is the history behind Downing Street?
A:Downing Street started out in the 17th century, lined by humble terraced houses. Between two and three centuries later, the street was rebuilt per the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. Successive politicians and dignitaries then called Downing Street home, marking it firmly as an address of power.
Q:Can I take photos outside Downing Street?
A:Photos can be taken by the entrance gates to Downing Street, the police-guarded iron security gates that block any public entry. However, you’ll need a good zoom on your camera if you want a photo of 10 Downing Street, which is normally only open to select press, politicians, and police.
Q:Can I take a guided tour of Downing Street?
A:No, the public can’t access Downing Street as admission is tightly controlled because it’s the London residence and working office of the British Prime Minister. Curious visitors can take virtual 10 Downing Street tours or enter to win a snoop around the gardens during the London Open Garden Squares Weekend.
Q:Is there an entrance fee to visit Downing Street?
A:No, there’s no entrance fee to visit Downing Street as the public can’t enter freely. If you want an alternative glimpse of the street that’s not by the police-thronged gates, take a seat on the #11 bus or ride the London Eye. For virtual Downing Street tours, there’s no fee.
Q:Are there any annual events or ceremonies at Downing Street?
A:The British Prime Minister hosts receptions and events throughout the year at Downing Street, but they’re strictly invite-only. Past receptions have included the 20th anniversary of the Frieze London Art Fair, a Pride reception, and a Festive Showcase event, which put the spotlight on popular exported British cheese like Yorkshire Wensleydale.
Q:How do I get to Downing Street using public transport?
A:Visitors can reach Downing Street in central London easily using public transport. It’s a 10-minute walk from the tube stations of Westminster or Embankment, or the train station of Charing Cross. Several public buses serve the Westminster area around Downing Street, as well as nearly all London sightseeing buses.
