Boris Johnson & Carrie Symonds' home revealed - and it's not No 10 Downing Street

Contrary to popular belief, Prime Minister Boris Johnson lives in a four-bedrooom flat above No 11 Downing Street, as opposed to at No 10. No 11 was also home to former Prime Ministers David Cameron and Tony Blair who both opted for the larger apartment over No 10 in order to have more room for their families.

Boris made history when he moved into the property with his now-fiancée Carrie Symonds back in July 2019, since the apartment had only ever been home to Prime Ministers' wives or husbands (Carrie was just his girlfriend at the time). He has of course spent a lot of time there since becoming Prime Minister last year, but especially so during the coronavirus pandemic, when he has been splitting his time solely between there and No 10. During this period, he has also revealed a look at areas of Downing Street we have never seen before. Take a tour.
