On Monday Prime Minister Boris Johnson advised against all but essential travel for the foreseeable future, especially for Londoners.

This includes avoiding pubs, restaurants and bars and working from home, where possible.

But for others, working from home provides a space far more idyllic than any office block could ever offer.

Here, the Independent brings you the best of both worlds.

Come thru, Spring. Come thruuuu 🌸🌺 There's so much going on right now between the virus, politics and climate change (among many other things). I just want to give the world a hug. It's tough out there. Here to chat if anyone needs an outlet, for any reason at all 💕
