Did you know that as a member of the public, you can visit 10 Downing Street for free in September? This is the UK Prime Minister’s office, and you can explore its rooms during a guided tour on September 16. It’s part of a free festival called Open House Festival, where you can visit over 500 historic houses, government buildings, and private homes for free throughout September😍To visit Downing Street, you need to enter a ballot, and if you’re selected, you’ll be notified.
I was fortunate enough to tour the Foreign Office about 4 years ago during the festival (second part of the video)
In most cases, for the Open House Festival, many locations allow you to “drop in,” meaning you can visit without prior booking. However, there might be specific sites or events within the festival that require advance booking such as 10 Downing Street✨
