Literary benches have arrived in London for the summer, and you have been going out to the streets and sharing your photographs with us. It's been delightful to see the many iconic characters and stories scattered across the capital through your eyes – and do keep sharing, as we're still far from having discovered them all.

This project by the National Literacy Trust aims to raise funds for projects to raise literacy, and is displaying 50 book-shaped benches across the capital, each dedicated to an iconic and London-related character or book. After their summer in the sun, the benches will be auctioned in the autumn.

This poll gave you a chance to decide which missing character will join the existing 50. We asked you who you thought was the most glaring omission – and here were our ten favourites among your nominations. You cast your votes, and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere was the winning option! A bench dedicated to the story will be installed at the end of August and illustrated by an artist who we will announce soon.
