Lovely set of 4 Coasters of London.Nice illustrated comical design with a beautiful powder blue background colour. Simple colours, red very prominent, as red is associated with features of the city of London e.g. London Buses and Royal guards.
Simple illustrative design of Oxford Street. Very sketchy style. Be nice if it had more detail. Blocks of colour used to break up the blandness of the white buildings. John Lewis's shop on oxford street is the stand out building as it has its name on it. Comical design similar to the Alice Tait Red Bus coasters set, also by John Lewis.
3. The Range - Simple Parisian Cafe Placemat and Coaster Set of 4 £4.99
Nice print quality of a Parisian Cafe. Vibrant colours associated with romance and welcoming, traits associated with Paris. The use of a cafe is different from the Eiffel Tower and other Parisian landmarks and instead appeals to a wider audience as it has a homely feel.
4. The Range - Impress Harbour Coasters - Set of 6 £1.99
Sweet design of the seaside harbour in lovely colours. Very good price considering the amount you get, however there is one design for all 6. Iconically british seaside appeals to a wide audience, the colours are also very neutral. Would look good in any setting as neutral colours are used.
5. The range - Simply Beach Huts Placemat and Coaster Set £4.99
Lovely simple design of Beach Huts which are similar to the Beach Huts cushion. Seaside is a very British landscape, appeals to a more light and colourful setting.
6. Denby - Denby Tabletalk Coastal Retreat Placemats Set of 6 £9.00
Nice view of boats and houses, sketched pencil style. Look better with a brighter range of colours as it would stand out more. Unappealing, bland colours and not eye catching. Hard to appreciate the design and the detail.

7. Jo Downs - Boat Coaster £9.00
Boat and Fish design coasters handmade from glass by designer Jo Downs. Very different design to usual printed ones. Skill involved and effort that should be appreciated. Lovely designs with a vibrant blue glass that works well representing the sea. Lovely textured glass with a ripple effect. Good quality, worth the money. Represents the sea well.
8. John Lewis- Jason Village Square Coasters - Set of 6 £9.00
A lovely set of six coasters, each one featuring an image of a village square from a byegone age. They are a very well made product. More idillic than city images .e.g Eiffel Tower, London Bridge. Beautiful printed village views with good detail. The colours all work well together and are not too bright. As a set they work very nicely together. Coasters worth the price. Appeals to anyone as it is not a specific landmark.
Set of 6 coasters by Debenhams featuring a Union Jack motif in a floral textiles style. Different and unique design. Simple but lovely. Would appeal to females, particularly ones who like floral. Would suit any home. Very chic and british. Pastel colours, not too bright.

9. John Lewis - Pimpernel St Ives Windreak Coasters, Set of 6 £9.00
Set of 6 coasters featuring St Ives in Cornwall. Good design but wouldn't work unless it is placed in a light setting. The colours are very vibrant and collaged. Not very detailed. Doesn't appeal to me and isn't very eye catching.
10. Tesco - Lifestyle 0128 Cavau Camper Van Coasters - Set of 6 £9.50
Set of 6 coasters featuring a camper van print design. Very simple design which really only appeals to somebody who likes camper vans or simplistic coasters. Only white, orange and red tonal colours used to create the design. Could look good with a different colour in the background, or the camper van with scenery behind it .e.g. on a road. Bright and colourful but not my desired choice. Seem a bit overpriced.
11. Dunelm Mill - Cafe Scene Collection Set of 6 coasters £1.99
Lovely coasters featuring a french design of a cafe. These look lovely if you want a 'bistro style' effect in your dining room. Great price! Like the 'Parisian Cafe Coaster' design by The Range, the use of a cafe is different from the Eiffel Tower and other Parisian landmarks and instead appeals to a wider audience as it has a homely feel. Very neutral, pastel colours. Pretty and simple design!
12. Dunelm Mill - Coastal Selection Coasters - Set of 6 £1.99
Set of 6 coasters featuring a coastal print design. Great product that is really cheap! Ideal for beach themed summerhouses. Beautiful colours and a lovely watercolour design. Matching placemats available which look great together! Perfect for summer or to remind you of summer. Bright and funky with a very attractive design. Would look good in a hotel or beach hut at the seaside.
13. Debenhams - Set of 6 Blue Floral 'Union Jack' Coasters £7.20
Set of 6 coasters by Debenhams featuring a Union Jack motif in a floral textiles style. Different and unique design. Simple but lovely. Would appeal to females, particularly ones who like floral. Would suit any home. Very chic and british. Pastel colours, not too bright.
14. John Lewis - Martha Mitchell British Coasters, Set of 4 £18.00
Black and white iconic illustrations of London and England. Made from hardboard and laminated plastic. Nice illustrative design, lots of important british symbols - Post box, Seagul, Fish and Chips sign , Oxford Street sign, Tea Pot, Bike, Umbrella etc. I like the design I think its a very good british coaster design. However I would personally have done it with some colour on it! There is no need to have them black and white, it just makes them look plain and boring. The illustrations should all be there destined colour e.g. The post box should be red! Very expensive. Would be willing to pay the money if they had more colour. More colour wouldn't only make them brighten and look more attractive but it would also make the illustrations stand out invididually!
15. John Lewis - Pimpernel Union Jack Coasters, Set of 6 £9.00
Set of 6 coasters featuring a Union Jack design. Very british. Not too vibrant, has a faded effect. More appealing to people that like british homeware or males as females may be more keen on the 'Floral Union Jack Coasters' by Debenhams as it is floral.
