Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Every Friday night hundreds of clubbers queue up outside Bagley's Studios, unaware that they're standing opposite a small gem of a venue.
But there have been changes over at the Cross. Renaissance has moved to Saturday nights, Liquid to Sundays and Serious to Friday nights.
Serious attracts hardened and stylish clubbers and there's simply nowhere else to be on warm summer nights. Those in the know chill in the garden before rejoining the dancefloor where residents, Commie and 2Funky, keep the floor humming.
The well-dressed crowd is matched by a lush interior aesthetic; the crowd here are a little more cosmopolitan than Renaissance's Saturday night mob but the night retains the strong atmosphere of community that the Cross always seems to engender - it has a capacity of around 400.
Fridays, Goods Yard Way, London N1 (0171-837 0828) 10.30pm-6am pounds 10-pounds 15.
