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.When it comes to overseas houseguests there are two sorts of host: the one who acts as accomplished tour guide to his foreign friends and the kind that meets them in the pub afterwards.
Balls Brother's is bang opposite the south side of St Pauls and if you balk at spending pounds 3 to enter a place of worship you could spend the money on a nice glass of Sauvignon (pounds 2.05) or a cheese and pickle sandwich (pounds 3.30) instead. A jug of Pimms is pounds 12 and the ice supply is seemingly inexhaustible.
Numerous outside tables leave the interior pleasantly empty on warm evenings with ceiling fans stirring the boozy atmosphere. And, once inside you no longer have to look at the ugly concrete block that houses it.
The ladies loo (there is only the one) is extremely basic so this branch is perhaps not the best choice for a hen party.
