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.

Hanover Place is a tiny alley running south from Long Acre, and this wine bar-cafe (it has a

marginally more formal, though pretty relaxed,

restaurant upstairs) takes up about half of its length, with outside tables, light food, croque monsieur, salads, pate. This is one of those places where luvvies like to pop in for a quick one and, if you're truly unlucky, you can eat your toasted sandwich to the cracked tunes coming from the rehearsal rooms near by. Open 11.30am to 11.30pm; a bottle of house wine costs pounds 8.45, an espresso pounds 1.20. If you can't find it, go back into the Tube and look at the advert in the lift.

Cafe des Amis, 11 Hanover Place, WC2 (071-379 3444).
