LONDON, England (CNN) — U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama met with British Prime Gordon Brown on Saturday on the last leg of his weeklong overseas tour.

Obama waved and smiled at the media outside Brown’s residence at 10 Downing Street but made no comments as he walked inside. Brown decided not to greet the U.S. senator on the doorstep because he didn’t grant the same honor to Obama’s rival, John McCain, when the Republican visited in March.

Obama’s visit in London is more low-key than the other stops on his trip. He plans no major news conferences and is expected to make his only remarks to reporters as he departs his meeting with Brown.
