Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Google has unveiled a new interactive online exhibit that take users on a tour of 10 Downing street in London \u2014 home of the U.K. Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

The building has served as home to countless British political leaders, from Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher through to Tony Blair and \u2014 as of a few months ago \u2014 Theresa May. But, as you\u2019d expect in today\u2019s security-conscious age, gaining access to the residence isn\u2019t easy; the street itself is gated off from the public. This is why the 10 Downing Street exhibit may capture the imagination of politics aficionados and history buffs from around the world.<\/p>\n

The tour features 360-degree views of the various rooms, punctuated by photos and audio and video clips.<\/p>\n
