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.

Old friends and a passion for all things culinary encouraged June Summerill and Bernadette Bishop to open their kitchen shop on Portland Road, just off London's Holland Park Avenue. Their idea was to stock the shop with kitchen implements with an emphasis on aesthetics and quality. Antique French enamel wear and table linen sits alongside Japanese kitchen knives and old bowls from Afghanistan. There is a selection of work available from designers such as Jacqui Roche, an English ceramicist who specialises in understated white tablewear, and American Edward Wohl, who makes exquisite maple chopping boards in an array of shapes and sizes. Not to mention the olive-wood pestle and mortars, truffle slicers, pepper mills and salad bowls, stainless-steel waffle irons and handmade wooden spoons. Some cookery books are also available, but only those they have personally approved. If it looks good and works well, chances are you will find it here.

Summerill & Bishop, 100 Portland Road, London W11 (0171-221 4566)
