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.

Lok Ho Fook, W1

The dead hours between lunch and the sun passing over the yard-arm are hell for the social life if you don't give a damn about either art or cake. There's either shopping or lying on a chaise longue talking on the telephone. Or, of course, you could eat dim sum. These slippery delicacies are available in plenty of places in Chinatown, but Lok Ho Fook, a slightly characterless white restaurant, does an excellent range, from the business bits of animals to those wonderful sticky rices, prawn dumplings and yam fritters that warm the heart, for between £1.35 and £2.50 each. The staff, however, are a little too polite for those who like their snacks served with a stiff dose of the Cantonese snarl.
