Theresa May eyes move into luxury No11 flat renovated by Camerons
The Camerons spent £25,000 renovating the kitchen that will soon house May's cook book collection
Theresa May was last night eyeing up the Camerons’ luxury Downing Street kitchen, after David Cameron took his successor on a private tour of the PM’s official residence.
The Camerons spent £25,000 doing up the kitchen in the larger flat above No 11 Downing Street, that they will depart today after six years.
Last night it was expected Mrs May would move in there rather than the small No 10 flat once inhabited by Maggie Thatcher.
Yesterday morning during Mrs May’s visit to No 10 for Mr Cameron’s 215th and final Cabinet meeting, he showed her around the private state of the art residence.
The sleek and modern Roundhouse kitchen was just one of the modifications led by SamCam during her time living on the famous street.
