London larder: On the ninth day of Christmas fare

On the ninth day of Christmas, we planned our TABLE. On our walks through London, we've discovered the following artisans and craftspeople making objects that we think would be perfect for any Christmas table. 

• Smug: home to interior designer Lizzie Evans in the heart of Camden Passage, Islington. 
  
• Snowden Flood: A true find in London's Oxo Tower Wharf is the studio of this interior accessories designer 
  
• Infant Art Club: first discovered at Førest London. As for who or what they are, the search continues. 
  
• Melody Rose: Beautiful, quirky and surreal ceramics from London-based designer, Melanie Roseveare. 
  
• Craft Central: UK organisation for professional craftspeople and designer-makers with a must-see shopfront in Clerkenwell.
