London’s basking in mid-twenties temperatures this week. In normal times this would most probably be the first week of outdoor beers and Mr Whippy cones. But these aren’t normal times.
In fact, for some of you, these premature sunny skies might be seem more like Mother Nature kicking us while we’re (locked) down than a blessing. It’s time to flip your perspective, though. Londoners have been using their government-allowed exercise time to walk around the city taking pictures of it looking glorious in the sun.
The result? A series of shots that make you grateful for that hour of outside each day and a chance to see London looking its very best from the comfort of your home. Grab a tin, stick your head out of the window and enjoy.
@tohomefromldn shared this pic of blue skies over the city from the top of Primrose Hill.

Dappled sunlight and social-distancing swans? We’re fans of this one.
This one was taken during a lonely walk in Regents Park, with a couple of swans respecting the guidelines in places. pic.twitter.com/nbTGHcTAAA

Beckenham Palace was a lockdown dream when @kate_bassett31 last walked through it.

Find things to do at home that are as good as going outside.
Plan a walk near you (following the government’s guidelines, of course).
