What sort of tablecloth are you looking for? Classic white linen? Something funkier? What's your budget? There are a zillion options out there! Here are some of my favourites:

Cologne & Cotton

White's of London

The White Company

Cucina Direct

If you have a Pier near you, that's a good place to look as well.

Is it just me, or is the use of hard placemats over here a little odd? I just hate them.

We have a Dunhelm Mill nearby. I dont know where they are located across the UK but its a very large home store with lots of soft furnishings. Check the internet. I lived here for four years before I discovered what Dunhelm's was. A fantastic place and fair priced.

I love them! Such easy clean-up! Plus, it means I don't have to put my huge dining table pad down under the cloth every time I have people over.  :)

I agree they clean easily, but I find them too small for the way I like to set the table. For easily cleanable, I prefer the foam/vinyl ones you can occasionally find here and more often, in the US.
