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.

Abbey Road's cafe scene was, let's say, sedate, until Ambria arrived a few months ago. Now this flamboyant Italian deli has injected some energy into this quiet area of St John's Wood. Owned by the Pignatelli family, Ambria sells an excellent range of freshly home-cooked lasagnes and pastas and traditional Italian deserts for around pounds 3 a portion, as well as a huge range of imported packaged foods (pastas, sauces, olives, sundried tomatoes etc.) Outdoor seating, flamboyant service, sublime espresso.

59a Abbey Road, St John's Wood, London NW8, 0171 328 8692. Open daily 7am to10pm.
