Where shall we meet: Annabel's Patisserie
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.There's patisserie and patisserie, and Annabel's serves the real McCoy. At the back of the narrow front premises is an airy room with a conservatory skylight covered in painted roses, dark pictures of farm animals, which look as though they are suffering from pastry overdoses, huge ferny things in pots and some of the ugliest off-the-peg display cabinets known to man.
If you sit with your back to these, though, the view is quite serene, and the tarte au citron would be good enough to make you swear if the surroundings weren't so genteel. Watch the breakfast, though: coffee, croissant and orange juice will set you back pounds 5.50.
Annabel's Salon de The, Wimbledon High St SW19 (081-947 4326).
