PA Margaret Thatcher and her husband Dennis also chose the leafy neighborhood after she was ousted as prime minister in 1990. They stayed for a year before moving to a more central location. Mr and Mrs Johnson are not overseeing the move this week as they are on holiday in Greece. The couple spent at least £112,000 renovating flat Number 10 when they moved in in 2019. Top designer Lulu Lytle undertook the makeover, which included installing gold-colored upholstery and fixtures. Getty Images The project was initially paid for by the Cabinet Office, but £52,000 was given to the Tory party by Lord Brownlow to cover the decoration bills. Johnson later said he paid out of his own pocket, but the Conservative Party was fined £17,800 when the Electoral Commission found he had not accurately declared all of Lord Brownlow’s donations. An annual grant of £30,000, funded by the taxpayer, is available to the Prime Minister to upgrade their Downing Street home. The prime minister’s official spokesman said on Monday that Johnson would be allowed to move furniture not paid for by the taxpayer to his new residence.
