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.It's 3am and with a deft flick of the wrist, Billy Kent is making bagels from a sausage of dough. A couple of cabbies and a gaggle of bedraggled clubbers, bleary-eyed in the bright lights, stand watching and chatting.
Ridley Bagel Bakery keeps going 24 hours a day, but is most congenial at night. Taste its bagels straight from the oven with melting butter (20p). Other fillings can be picked from a well-stocked deli counter.
During the day, stop off here while exploring Ridley Road market. Or pop in for an appetiser before feasting on eels and mash at nearby F Cooke & Sons (41 Kingsland High Street).
