Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
The Brixton Brasserie is the sort of ideal world you see in the movies but not much in real life, a place where staff and customers
comprise an equal racial and sexual mix and
everyone's just getting on with having a nice time. In fact there's nothing much in terms of cultural
imperialism here at all: food is a mixture of Caribbean (jerk chicken with rice and peas pounds 6.95) and Cleethorpes (baskets of fried seafood pounds 3.95 small, pounds 6.95 large). It's loud and private at the same time, tables
generously spaced, staff speedy but not cloyingly friendly. If you don't want to eat you can toy with a plate of fried plantain at pounds 1.50 and watch the world go by. Close to the Brixton Academy if you want to get down later.
