People are sharing their window views during lockdown – here are the best

When you’re stuck inside all day, you become much more aware of your window to the outside world. Especially if, like a lot of city-dwellers, you’ve not been blessed with much (or any) outdoor space.

Through those little panes of glass you can see life happening. Maybe you’ve got an ace view of a food shop, so you know when the queues are at their shortest. Perhaps you’ve got a dreamy vista of your city’s skyline, or of the new season springing in your local park.

We’re not all that lucky though. So if your window looks out over a car park or your block’s rubbish bins, take a look instead at these dreamy views making lockdown around the world that little bit sweeter…
