A Western heart to a Prague facade
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.One of London's most successful property developers, who previously considered Kensington the eastern limit of his territory, is thinking of exporting his expertise to Warsaw and Prague. John Hunter of Northacre has pioneered the concept of developing luxury new flats behind old facades. He is currently completing the rebuilding of an entire terrace in Observatory Gardens, Kensington, which from the outside appears the same as it did 100 years ago. As international businessmen demand Western-style accommodation, he says, Warsaw and Prague have the kind of architecture which lends itself to the concept - and, unlike Kensington, you do not have to compete with 50 other developers to buy it.
