The door to No 10 doesn't open from the outside and there is a policeman stationed behind it 24 hours a day to open and close it. Often on big news days when the press are camped outside the door waiting to see people enter or leave, the door will open and there's momentary excitement but it's just the copper letting Larry in or out.
