We've shown you Michelle Mason's '50s tinged London designs before, specifically on her cushions. A more accessible way to introduce the design into your home is with these London tumblers.
The tumblers feature the same retro illustrations – Routemasters and teashops and all – and are made from melamine, making them the perfect things for kids or for trips away from the city.
The tumblers cost £7.99. You can also get a melamine mug for the same price.

We've already seen how Donna Wilson's retro style can transfer onto homewares with her sprig tableware for SCP. There's now more ceramic designs available from her online store, including this Birds Nest plate.
The plate, which is handmade and printed in Stoke on Trent, uses a very 70s image and colour scheme. As with her other pieces – across furniture, textiles and ceramics – it's updated in Wilson's trademark style for the twenty-first century.
This fresh take on a classic motif costs £20.

Get that American diner feel in your home with these roadside signs plates from Bob's Your Uncle.
The set features four plates based on photographs taken on a road trip around the States. From retro lettering to illuminated pigs, the images selected are pure Americana. And, because they are melamine, the best news is you can take them on your own road trip too.
Bob's Your Uncle is a Boston based company, established by a British couple Martin and Michelle Yeeles. Their other products include plates based on scenes within a diner and trays featuring more old signage.
This set of plates costs $40.

The wealth of the London Transport Museum advertising archives has been dipped into again, to produce this Deco-style teapot. It's part of a new tableware range based around the 1930s posters by Andre Edouard Marty.
The illustration on the porcelain teapot comes from the poster 'As We Dance Around', commissioned for the Underground Electric Railways Company Limited. It was produced in 1931 and the shape of the pot draws inspiration from this period.
Separate cups and milk jugs are available, each with a similar look. Each product comes in an presentation box which gives further details on the posters and artist and makes it an ideal gift for any elegant, tea-supping types you may know.
The teapot costs £32.99.

If you believe you are what you eat, how about extending this motto to the rest of your home? Should you want to, the Kit wallpaper from Studio Nommo allows you to cover your walls with retro-style illustrations of packaging and create a Pop Art food fantasy look that surely even Warhol would be proud of.
The paper is based on a design by Andreas Samuelsson and features everything from boxes of Ritz crackers to Nintendo NES controllers. The design is fun and unusual but, even in this otherwise minimal marketing room shot, looks pretty full on!
If you're brave enough to want to try this look out, the paper costs 130 Euros a roll.

A while back we featured the Imperial War Museum's The Ministry of Food exhibition, particularly the book which featured wartime recipes with which to feed your family on a budget today. If you're feeling too lazy to try these yourself you may be interested to hear that, for the run of the exhibition, the museum's cafe has transformed itself into Kitchen Front and is serving authentic recipes from the Second World War period.
Kitchen Front is the brain child of Company of Cooks and is named after a popular World War II BBC radio programme. While it's a intriguing project, it certainly won't be to everyone's taste. The idea of rationed portions and using margarine rather than butter not so appealing? Well, they've decorated the area with photographs of famous cooks from the period so you've got something else to look at other than what you're eating.
