London Seats from the London Correspondent

You may remember from her first report that Judy has been finding literary benches dotted around London. She has found some more and shares them with us. 🙂

London never ceases to be surprising, and often one thing will lead to other exciting finds. One of the latest treasures I have discovered is a series of benches placed around the city in different locations to highlight different books and authors. The project is called Books About Town, and you can see all of the wonderful painted benches on the website:

This one is outside St Paul’s and I don’t know what it is. I guess there will always be people sitting on this one.

“Pride and Prejudice”, of course

This is from Samuel Pepys Journal, about the Great Fire of London

This is Pepys from the back

This one is James Bond, and has a splendid front, but people keep sitting on it so I don’t like to take their photo.

This one is from Scott’s Journal of his Journey to the Antarctic
