Larry's Place, StreetView stylee
Getting beyond the famous Downing Street gates is deliberately meant to be difficult.
But I can reveal that in June, after much negotiation, the folks from Google StreetView managed to get their camera car to drive right up to the door of No.10.
And from today, the PM's address is finally on Google StreetView for everyone to see.
The public haven't been able to go right upto the famous black door since the mid 1990s and the days of John Major.
But perhaps the best thing is that Larry* the Cat is in the pic - you have to zoom in quite close but he's there to the left of the No.10 door. Never camera-shy is Larry.
Sadly, his girlfriend Maisie is missing. But maybe some things really should be off-camera...
*FOOTNOTE: Google's own co-founder Larry Page, may be more than happy to see his namesake..
