10 and 11 Downing Streets are the homes of the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer. These two houses are all that remain of Downing Street and are secured by huge dark metal gateways and cops on responsibility 24 hours a day. It used to be possible simply to walk through Downing Street but after a enemy strike in the 80's, the Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, had the gateways set up as a protection measure. 10 Downing Street was given to the United Kingdom's first Prime Minister, Rupert Walpole, by George II in 1732. Number 11 has been the property of the Chancellor since 1806.
