number ten
British leader's residence
Number ten refers to the prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street in London, used as a metonym for the British prime minister or their office: Number Ten declined to comment on the allegations.
The phrase functions like "the White House" does in American politics—representing not just a building but the administration within it.
