Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers

A trail of 50 Books About Town benches are on display in London from 4 July to 15 September 2014. Designed to resemble an open book and brightly decorated, each one depicts a different novel celebrating London’s literary connections.

On 7 October the benches will be auctioned to raise funds for the National Literacy Trust which works to raise literacy levels in the UK.

Here are some of the designs already on display in the City of London. Enjoy.
