Rishi Sunak has become Britain's youngest prime minister in two centuries. First Indian-origin Prime Minister, Sunak has been appointed as UK's 57th PM. He took charges on Tuesday (October 25).  At 10 Downing Street, Sunak said, "We will create a future worthy of the sacrifices so many have made and fill tomorrow and every day thereafter with hope."

On Monday, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak became the Conservative Party leader less than two months after he lost to Liz Truss in the Tory leadership race. 

As per UK's law, the First Lord of the Treasury, by convention, the Prime Minister resids in the Number 10 Downing Street. Although, it is being assumed that the newly appointed UK PM Rishi Sunak might choose to live at his private residence, but here's is a glimpse of his new home.
