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.

A tiny terraced house that measures no more than 10ft wide has gone on the market in south London for a staggering £800,000.

The house, generally labelled "unique" by estate agent Foxtons, looks all the more unusual because it is sandwiched between two regular-sized homes.

It doesn't even have a proper back door - images of the interior suggested renovators had sought to maximise the property's space by including a folding aperture to the similarly narrow back garden.

Located on Barry Road in East Dulwich, the 800 square foot property squeezes in two bedrooms and two bathrooms, despite being dwarfed by its neighbours.

The description on Foxtons website claims: “This unique two bedroom house, boasts bright and modern interior, with fantastic open-plan reception and kitchen area, private driveway and garden.”

The house comes in a long line of extraordinary London estate agent listings which expose everything that is wrong with the UK property market.

In 2014, a garage on its own went on sale in the capital for an eye-watering £500,000.

And last year, a three-bed flat above a pizza restaurant was being sold on Old Brompton Road - also for £800,000.
