Garden of 10 and 11 Downing Street

The garden of 10 and 11 Downing Street is an L-shaped garden, 1⁄2 acre (0.2 ha) in size, behind the official residences of the prime minister of the United Kingdom and the chancellor of the exchequer, 10 and 11 Downing Street in the Whitehall district of the City of Westminster in central London. The garden has been developed over the 20th century under many prime ministers. Though normally closed to the public, the garden is sometimes opened as part of the London Open Gardens Weekend organised by the London Parks & Gardens Trust. References
