'''11 Downing Street''' in [[London]], also known colloquially in the United Kingdom as '''Number 11''', is the official residence of the [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] (who traditionally also has the title of [[Second Lord of the Treasury]]). The residence, in [[Downing Street]] in London, was built alongside the official residence of the Prime Minister at [[10 Downing Street|Number 10]] in 1682.

The first Chancellor to live there was [[Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne|Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice]] in 1806, but Number 11 did not become the Chancellor's official residence until 1828.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Number 11 Downing Street|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/history/11-downing-street|publisher=UK Government|access-date=16 October 2014}}</ref>
