Where shall we meet?: The Hand in Hand
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.This pub, on the bottom of Wimbledon Common, is a brisk 15 minutes' walk from the tennis, but at least there's parking. Actually, it's a place where, apart from the thoks from the TV in a small but crowded side room, you could pretend that there is no such thing as tennis. Dark, low-ceilinged, and done up with a faint arts-and-crafts theme - settles, stripped wood and hanging wall panels - this pub sells Youngs beer and has a surprisingly broad wine list. Don't be taken aback if the barman asks you if you want your drink 'in a glass': he is offering you a plastic beaker to take outside to the patch of grass at the front.
The Hand in Hand, Crooked Billet SW19.
Tomorrow: Annabel Patisserie, Wimbledon High St SW19.
