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.

The market at Brixton is one of the most thriving shopping paradises in London: a place where you can buy fish, plantains and several metres of fabric and still have change from a tenner. You can also assuage the angriest hangover on pizza and caffe-latte at Franco's, a tiny shopfront whose tables spill onto the market walkway. Inside, the walls are white- tiled and the pizzas are among the best you'll get in London: light and generously topped with everything you could dream up, including aubergines. This is a very popular venue with many regulars, so don't expect to get a table all to yourselves. Allow 10-20 minutes for queuing, and don't try to go there for dinner: they won't be open.

Pizzeria Franco, 4 Market Row, Electric Lane SW9 (071-738 3021)
