Life from your sofa leaves plenty of time to catch up on Netflix, but not so much inspiration for your Instagram feed.

From the iconic store windows at Harvey Nicks and Harrods, to Vivienne Westwood’s famed backwards clock, we’ve picked out 16 of the most snappable spots on the route. So, why not update your social feed with the borough’s finest facades while getting your daily exercise (and a spot of sun)?
