Editing 10 Downing Street (section)

==== White State Drawing Room ====
The White State Drawing room was, until the 1940s, for the private use of prime ministers and their spouses. It was here that [[Edward Heath]] kept his grand piano. It is often used as the backdrop for television interviews and is in regular use as a meeting room for Downing Street staff. The room links through to the Terracotta Room next door. In the reconstruction during the late 1980s, Quinlan Terry used Corinthian columns and added ornate Baroque-style central ceiling mouldings and corner mouldings of the four national flowers of the United Kingdom: rose (England), thistle (Scotland), daffodil (Wales) and shamrock (Northern Ireland).<ref name=Seldon3537/>
