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.

The Eagle, a five-minute walk from Gray's Inn and an outpost of respectability in a world of warehouses, was one of the first bars to take pub food out of the realms of sausages and beans and into competition with restaurants. This place, huge though its rooms are, usually has people hanging from the rafters pretty much throughout the evening. Getting from a table to the loo is a bit like a journey in the rush hour, only faintly more leery. There is also a gallery upstairs, open Thursday to Sunday, 11am-6pm, so if your lunch date's late you can wander around there feeling faintly superior.
