Moving in to No.10: What Theresa should expect
Moving house is stressful enough but what if you've also got to run the country?
The new Prime Minister, Theresa May, is due to move in to her new home at Downing Street this weekend, but what can she expect from her new crib?
Jack Brown is Researcher in Residence at Number 10, and the Policy Institute at King's College London and said any changes made to the house depend "hugely" on the Prime Minister.
He explained that Margaret Thatcher thought Number 10 was "a bit dowdy" when she first moved in, so had "portraits and busts of prominent scientists" brought in to the building.
"She thought that if you're entertaining a President or Prime Minister from around the world they should get that sense of British history and think, 'wow!'".
