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.

This is one of the few pubs in London that hasn't been done out in wood at some point. Actually, its squashy benches and Belgravia drunks can seem a bit unnerving when you peer in through the windows. But persevere: the Lowndes Arms has nice staff and one of the most attractive pub gardens in London: a real city garden sunk deep in a well of high houses, with trellises and vines and tables that wobble on the paving. In the summer, the neighbours conduct their lives with the windows open in blissful disregard of the drinkers below, and you can eavesdrop on their rows. It's just like being in Italy.

The Lowndes Arms, Chesham St, SW1 (071-235 2595)
