Two Fulham mothers with a nose for entrepreneurial ideas have just launched “Those Who Nose Fulham”, a newsletter listing things to do in Fulham.
“We were frustrated of only hearing about some great event happening on our doorstep when it was too late and of not knowing there was a Chelsea match and getting stuck in traffic” says Lara Soetekouw, who founded the site together with Claudine Church. “We wished somebody would alert us with an email. When we looked around and couldn’t find that somebody we decided to do it ourselves“.

This Summer in London we have enjoyed the best looking and most inspirational benches ever produced. For those who haven’t noticed some of the 51 colourful BookBenches installed in June on the streets of London here is a little story behind the Books about Town initiative and the images of the few I managed to capture.
Trails of benches shaped as open books, decorated by professional illustrators and local artists, were created for the public to enjoy. It has been a unique opportunity to explore the capital’s literary connections, to enjoy art from some of the country’s top artists and to celebrate reading for enjoyment. To view all the wonderful 51 BookBenches check the Books about Town website.
There is a last-minute opportunity to see all of the stunning BookBenches that have been dotted about London this summer – in one place! The public have one final chance to view the 51 benches which will all be gathered together in the University of London’s Gordon Square Garden WC1 for one weekend only – 4 and 5 October 2014 from 10am to 6pm.
This will be the last chance to see the iconic benches that took London by storm this summer and to preview them ahead of auction at the Southbank Centre on 7 October. The auction will raise vital funds to support the work of the National Literacy Trust to raise literacy levels of disadvantaged children.
