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.A room
London's newest hotel is, like the Travel Inn mentioned last week, in County Hall on the South Bank. But the Marriott (0171-928 5200) is more upmarket, offering Thames views from the majority of its 200 rooms, and a 25-metre swimming pool. The official opening takes place in a month. Until then, a room costs pounds 193.87; this will increase by pounds 23.50 after the opening. (The reason for these non-round numbers is that the hotel quotes prices exclusive of VAT; we have added it for you.)
A meal
If you are taking up the the Silver Jubilee Walk suggestion (see above), you will pass the Marriott en route. Within, and in the former GLC library, now called the Leader's Bar, Champagne Afternoon Tea is served each day between 3pm and 6pm. The price, including VAT, is pounds 22.
A drink
The Dublin Literary Pub Crawl takes place every evening at 7.30pm, and on Sundays at noon and 7.30pm. Meet upstairs at the Duke in Duke Street; call 00 353 1454 0228 for further details.
