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.

It seems London will never lose its appetite for chi-chi oriental fusion dishes, especially when served in tapas-sized portions in the hip environs of a Will Ricker restaurant. Ricker also owns Cicada, Eight Over Eight, and Great Eastern Dining Room, but this hasn't diminished the immense popularity of E&O (Eastern & Oriental). This cream-coloured venue, decorated with large circular lampshades, slatted wooden walls, dark wood floor and sleek banquettes, is a modern, quintessentially West London take on traditional oriental design. There's also a tiny bar with suspended glass shelves laden with spirits, packed to the rafters with glitterati enjoying the cocktails. For a venue that seems to be in love with its own image, its fashionable food is surprisingly good. Try water chestnut and date gyoza; betel leaf packed with toasted coconut and pomelo; crispy duck, watermelon and cashew salad; avocado, pumpkin and courgette tempura; yellow swordfish and jack fruit curry; or wagyu beef, tataki and wasabi with soy glaze. Follow with lychee granita, or vanilla and lemongrass crème brulee. E&O buzzes with an informal, youthful vibe that most grander establishments simply cannot match.
