10 Downing Street is the residence and office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, situated on Downing Street in the City of Westminster, central London. It is actually the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, but in modern times this post has always been held simultaneously with the office of Prime Minister.
With its unassuming stone front step and plain black entrance door, Number 10, as it is affectionately known, is perhaps the most famous address in London and one of the most widely recognized houses in the world.
It has offices for the PM himself, his secretaries, assistants and advisors, and numerous conference rooms and dining rooms where he meets with and entertains other British leaders and foreign dignitaries. The building is near the Palace of Westminster, the home of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, the residence of the Queen.
The building now known as Number Ten was originally three houses: the "house at the back", Number 10 itself, and a small house next to it. The "house at the back" was a mansion built sometime around 1530; the original Number 10 was a modest townhouse built in 1685.

Number 10 Downing Street is the home for the British Prime Minster, and the head of England's Government. It is there version of the US Whitehouse.
Number 10 is more modest and move of a working environment, because the Queen and the Royals handle the ceremonial stuff. In the US the President has to do both jobs.
