Another independent store that we love is The Dining Room Shop, again in Barnes, which was set up by Kate Dyson in 1985.  One of the original team who set up 'The World of Interiors' publication, Kate decided to open the store to be nearer to home and her four young children.  Now in its 26th year, the shop is regularly featured in the press and is a fantastic destination for a shopping trip (or simply a visit to peruse their beautiful objects!)
