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.l The Holland Park eaterie Julie's (0171 229 8331) is a favourite haunt of Prince Edward, Richard Branson and Madonna. It is also celebrating 30 years in business, and to entice customers to take part in festivities, a three-course lunch is on offer this month at the special price of - you've guessed it - pounds 19.68.
l One of the capital's newest luxury hotels, One Aldwych, has just launched its own ultra-modern restaurant, Axis (0171 300 0300). Leather floors, a gallery bar and one of London's largest murals are just some of its alternative features. And the food isn't bad either, with globe-trotting chef Mark Gregory (once New Zealand's Cultural Ambassador) offering an eclectic menu from around the world.
l If you're up North and you've ever wondered what it would be like to eat in the middle of a tropical rainforest - complete with swinging monkeys, trumpeting elephants and cascading waterfalls - then look no further than Manchester. Europe's second Rain-forest Cafe (0161 864 4220) opened on Thursday in the Trafford Centre.
l If there's any hint of an Indian summer this month, head for Edenbridge in Kent. Honours Mill (01732 866757) - the restaurant owned by swimming champion Duncan Goodhew and his brothers - has just added a huge balcony to allow for al fresco dining. This picturesque establishment, in a converted water mill by a pond, offers top-quality Modern European food.
