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 first thing you notice about Vats is that there's wood everywhere. This two-room Bloomsbury bar has more wood in its decor than you could...well...shake a stick at. And very mellow it is, too: just the place, with its wall- benches and old tables, for students to take aged relatives to without alarming them. Which is not to say it's dull. Bloomsbury still attracts its fair share of eccentrics, and a bar where they give you a free bowl of Twiglets with your plonk is almost guaranteed to act as a magnet. If you don't fancy earwigging them, the back room has a few attractive glassed booths where the romantic can carry out an assignation in relative peace.
