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 going to confession leaves you in need of sugar, the Patisserie Valerie, near the Brompton Oratory, fills more than just bills. Especially full post-Mass on a Sunday, this airy picture-covered cafe sells the kind of petits fours and gateaux that should send you straight back begging absolution and a choice of coffees that verges on the bewildering.
They also sell more meal-like stuff: doughy things with cheese in, sandwiches and so forth. Also because, presumably, of its proximity to a posh Catholic church, this place is popular with women of a kind of elegance you normally only see in South America.
Patisserie Valerie, 215 Brompton Rd SW3 (071-823 9971).
Monday: The Dog & Fox, Wimbledon High Street, SW15.
