I’ve always been fascinated by the Post Office Tower. Perhaps it’s because I never went up it as a small child, or maybe its because of its status as a symbol of 60s London. Either way, I think original memorabilia of the tower is a collectable of the future.
And that’s why this Post Office Tower glass dish looks such a good buy. The image of the tower is screenprinted on the glass, with an image of Nelson’s Column to the side just to give an idea of scale. No bids at £9.99 – which seems a fair price.
I’m off now to harass BT to re-open the revolving restaurant.
Despite all of the classic chairs we feature, beanbags still always come to mind when I think about retro homes. I imagine cool hippie types lounging around listening to music on giant beanbags. Beanbags have fallen out of fashion somewhat in recent years, and are perhaps not what most people want in their lounge, but these Pea Nut Beanbags can also be used outdoors, where they will provide a comfortable alternative to the deckchair.

Martin Wiscombe specialises in quaintly nostalgic designs and these retro vehicle coffee mugs are in keeping with that style. There are four in the series: a Mini Cooper, a Volkswagen Camper Van, a Volkswagen Beetle and the Lambretta pictured here. Each design features subtle colours with a washed out look to give them an authentically vintage look.
