Hand-Drawn Memories from Drury 188-189, Now in a Coffee Table Book

Drury Napkin Art Coffee Table Book – A Collection of Guest Creativity

One of our most cherished things about our cafe here at Drury 188-189 is our incredible Drury napkin art left by our customers over the years. After receiving a ton of positive feedback on our blog post about our collection, we decided to compile these heartfelt expressions into the Drury Napkin Art Coffee Table Book, a beautifully curated book that celebrates the creativity and connections shared in our space.

The story of our napkin art collection began with a single napkin back in 2018 when one of our ex-employees, Coco, wrote the first note on a napkin with the words “Thanks for existing.” before moving back home to Australia.  That message inspired us to encourage our customers to leave a little message for us when visiting Drury for us to remember them by. Since then we have had many amazing napkins to put on our walls ranging from simple heartfelt notes all the way to beautiful drawings of London landmarks, our staff and many more beautiful things.

This book is a tribute to the incredible moments, conversations, and memories that have made Drury a home for so many. When creating this book, we were on a mission to try and filter out some of our favourite drawings and notes, but with over a thousand napkins to choose from, this was no easy task. Still, we hope our selection didn’t disappoint.
