Heritage London bus mug

Heritage bus

Looking for a reasonably priced gift for a secret Santa or a stocking filler? You could do worse than looking at the Heritage London range which includes this bus mug.

The mug features an illustration by Fiona Howard and has the same retro feel as her other work. It features a simplified outline of a red London bus, contrasting nicely to the cream of the mug. There's also a black taxi available in the same range. 

Made from earthenware and completely microwave and dishwasher safe, the mug costs just £6.
