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.

IF YOU are a keen bargain hunter but have exhausted the possibilities of Camden or Portobello (or rather they have exhausted you), The London Market Guide is the answer. For the rest of the summer, you can explore markets selling clothing from Battersea High Street to Woolwich. And if you have overdosed on bargain hunting, and want to sell your surplus, the guide gives advice on who to contact if you want to get a stall.

Written, designed, photographed and published by Andrew Kershman and Susi Koch, Kershman even distributed the guide - by bike.

During six months research, Kershman accumulated both information and bargains. 'I've got a great wardrobe now,' he says,

'but I didn't spend much.'

The London Market Guide is on sale at WH Smiths around London and good bookshops. For mail order, send pounds 3.99 to Metro Publications, PO Box 6336, London N1 6PY. Allow two weeks for delivery.
