Books about Town

It is great to always have a good book in your hands. Also, in summer, what can be better than enjoying the sun and the city while you delight yourself with a wonderful reading?

The National Literacy Trust, to celebrate London's literary heritage and encourage reading, has scattered 50 book benches all over the Capital. These masterpieces will be displayed until the 15th of September and they will be auctioned on the 7th of October at the Southbank Centre.

Each bench has been designed by a different artist and they are all dedicated to books, authors or characters. 

If you want to see all of them you should follow the four trails around The City, Greenwich, Riverside and Bloomsbury. The organization has also planned performances, book giveaways, quizzes and more events.
