National Literacy Trust - Book Bench Trail

If you are running out of ideas to keep the children entertained, why not try the National Literacy Trust Book Bench trail? There are four of them to complete: The City, Bloomsbury, Riverside & Greenwich. On their website you can find maps detailing the location of the benches and quizzes for the children to complete too. For more information, check out their website:

The artwork on them is stunning - these pictures were taken on the Riverside trail. It is a very imaginative way to inspire an interest in authors and stories... so why not have a go. On the way you could also link in other London attractions: the WW1 Poppy memorial at The Tower of London, the cable car in Greenwich or St Paul's Cathedral.

If you have any photos of you with the book benches, please share them with us.
