Renowned biographer Anthony Seldon invites the reader into the day-to-day life of an internationally important diplomatic seat.

A winning formula across the board, this book cannot fail to enthrall those interested in art, horticulture, interior design, architecture, history, diplomacy, politics, and "the special relationship", as we are given a sneak-peek into the day-to-day life, past and present, of the Residence.
