"Now Downing Street has four consecutive addresses, all on its north side. Number 9 is the Downing Street entrance to the Privy Council Office and now houses the Chief Whip's Office; Number 10 is the official residence of the Prime Minister and Number 12 now houses the Prime Minister's Press Office, Strategic Communications Unit and Information and Research Unit.

But it is Number 11, the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which is perhaps the most authentic of the Downing Street buildings. Number 10 is the culmination of a knocking together of one of Downing's original 17th century houses with another, more impressive residence behind it which overlooked St James's Park (the architect William Kent linked these two in the 1730s). Number 12 on the other hand was completely rebuilt in the 1960s to a new design. So of the three houses, Number 11 probably gives the best impression of the scale of Downing's original speculative townhouses".
