Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

Here's Part III of my blog about the book benches in London, this one focuses on the Bloomsbury Trail. The Books About Town benches are on display in London until 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.

Please note this is a long blog contains 24 photos. Which bench is your favourite?
