Ten years ago today F Mondays opened its doors on Brixton Hill. Alan Slingsby spoke to co-owner Ciara O’Shea

Ciara O’Shea and her co-owner Ken Nally have lived just across the road from their Brixton Hill coffee-and-more establishment for 20 years.

Both originally from Ireland, they would walk or drive past the derelict former estate agents that is now the Brixton Hill F Mondays and think “that’s a great shop” the sun “shone right through it in the morning”.

Ciara is make-up artist by trade and born in the small town of Templemore, Tipperary, and Ken, from the mountains of Wicklow, trained as an industrial designer.
