Book Benches & Quiz

Fifty Book Benches have been scattered around London in the United Kingdom in a project by the National Literary Trust to celebrate London's literary heritage and encourage reading. 

"The 50 benches are dedicated to books, characters and authors: from Sherlock Holmes, James Bond and Hercules Poirot to Peter Pan, The Gruffalo and Paddington Bear. " The Guardian.com
