Budget cuts in the police service are becoming embarrassing.

10 Downing Street, commonly known as Number 10, is the headquarters of Her Majesty's Government and the traditional home of the Prime Minister, who has a flat above the offices and state rooms. Because Tony Blair had a young family at the time he took office, he swapped houses with the then-single Gordon Brown so he could live in the larger flat above the Chancellor's traditional residence at Number 11. The Camerons have continued this tradition of flat-swapping, since the Osbornes don't actually live on Downing Street and George only uses his flat to pull all-nighters/host orgies.

As the home of the Prime Minister it is a prominent location in the lolitical world, and it (or its rose garden) will often be referenced or used as a setting for fic.

It has:

  • Offices.
  • State rooms.
  • Marble fireplaces.
  • Over-stuffed chairs covered in teal brocade.
  • Oil paintings.
  • A tea service.
  • A rose garden.
  • A secret corridor linking DCam and Nick Clegg so they can meet for sex without the civil service knowing (probably).
  • A secret corridor linking Number 10 with the Cabinet Office so that civil servants can sneak around without the press knowing (definitely).
  • A "Thatcher Room"
  • CCTV

As far as we know, Arthur Balfour is the only person to ever hold a seance in 10 Downing Street.[1]
