No 10: The Geography of Power at Downing Street

Behind the world`s most iconic front door lies the core of British political power: the Prime Minister`s home and office. Designed over three centuries ago as an ordinary residence, 10 Downing Street (or `No. 10`) has undergone a challenging metamorphosis, with continuous adaptation and renovation allowing successive occupants to make their mark on this evolving, surprising and in some places crumbling building. No. 10`s first-ever Researcher in Residence, Jack Brown, has used unprecedented access to people and papers to uncover intimate stories of Downing Street`s post-war residents, staff and visitors, revealing how those in power have shaped the building – and been shaped by it in return. This is a fascinating account of unexplored corners of one of the nation`s best-known buildings, from the minutiae of decoration and diplomacy to the drama of terrorist bombs and political bombshells.
