11 Downing Street (commonly known as Number 11), is the official residence of Britain's Second Lord of the Treasury who is formally recognised as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The first Chancellor to live there was Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice in 1806, but Number 11 did not become the Chancellor's official residence until 1828.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.gov.uk/government/history/11-downing-street )〕 It is currently the official residence of George Osborne, who was appointed as Chancellor by Prime Minister David Cameron on 11 May 2010. ==Background== Number 11 is part of a charcoal-brick Georgian-era converted mansion, overlooking St. James's Park, that consists—from left to right—Number 12, Number 11 and Number 10. Number 11 is located on the left side of Number 10, the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, which is recognised as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since the earliest era of the 19th century. Number 12, located on the left side of Number 11, is the official residence of the Chief Whip, but it is now used as the Prime Minister's press office. Many internal refurbishments over years have made it so that three terraced buildings appears as a single complex inside; one can walk from number 11 to number 10, via an internal connecting door, without using the street doors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「11 Downing Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
