10 Downing Street's garden will be part of this year's Open Garden Squares festival.
Most of us never get to walk along the corridors of power, but here's a rare chance to inspect the herbaceous borders of power. Two public tours of the garden at 10 Downing Street will take place on 8 June at 11.30am and 1.30pm. It's part of the annual London Open Gardens weekend, which sees many of London's closed gardens open to the public (full list here).
Needless to say, demand is likely to greatly outstrip supply. So the 48 places are allocated by ballot. To be in with a chance of admiring the lawn where Dominic Cummings described his cavalier attitude to eye-tests, the spot where Boris Johnson partied in the Covid sunshine, or simply admire Rishi Sunak's neatly trimmed undergrowth, then enter your details on the ballot page.
London Open Gardens, 8-9 June 2024. The ballot for 10 Downing Street is open to those aged 12+, and photo ID will be required on the day. Ballot closes at the end of 7 May.
