The Dragon Bar 1998-2008 by Josh Jones & James-Lee Duffy

An amazing oral history of the infamous Dragon Bar in London, the birthplace of the ‘street art explosion’.

A bar with only a loose grip on rules, it had gloriously graffitied toilets, a bit out the back, which became a space for the London graffiti community to paint and gather, and a free gallery space upstairs where Banksy held his first London show and many others exhibited. 

The two authors interviewed the artists (and staff and wild regular drinkers) who exhibited and had a lot of fun there, including Banksy, Ben Eine, fashion designer NOKI, FAILE, Laura Lees, Toasters, Lucie Flynn, Mode 2, James Jessop, INVADER and many more.
