Routemaster letter rack by Susan Bradley
If you've already bought the bookend, surely your home is also crying out for Susan Bradley's Routemaster letter rack?
As with the bookend, she's taken the instantly recognisable shape of London's most loved bus and applied it to a usually quite dull household object. The rack can be mounted or is usable freestanding and the cheery outline of the Routemaster is bound to make storing your correspondence that bit more fun: no mean feat, especially if bills are involved.
The letter rack costs £20.

Hold Tight collection from Mini Moderns
A new range from Mini Moderns is always a cause for celebration and their Hold Tight collection is no exception. The range has been produced for London Transport Museum, and is suitably transport themed. Specifically, it's based on bus tickets. The wallpaper pictured is based on a collection of vintage bus tickets and is available in a choice of three different colourways. Meanwhile, a canvas bag design uses a motif made by working an old Gibson ticketing machine.
As well as those two products, the range also includes a tea towel and a cushion. Prices start at £8 for the tea towel, with the wallpaper costing £45 a roll.

Stoke Newington by Motor-bus print
This Stoke Newington by Motor-bus print may sound like something dating back to the early twentieth century but in fact is a contemporary design – though one that draws on the style of classic travel posters.
Designed by Beyond Thrilled, it's the first in their new series looking at different districts of London. The image shows Stoke Newington as it looks today. However, it's then given a retro feel by a green or a pink colourwash, overlaid with transport poster style typography to create an interesting piece of art.
The print costs £60.
