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.

It has no windows, no bathroom, no cooking facilities – it doesn’t even have running water.

Even so, this garage, which has been advertised as a “studio flat” could be yours to own for £177,000 in the heart of one of London’s most expensive areas.

The garage in Knightsbridge, which measures at 5.15 m x 2.75 m is being sold on a 41 year leasehold. It comes with an electric door and an internal light.

A spokesperson the estate agents listing the garage explained that the garage had been advertised incorrectly due to an issue with its database. Douglas & Gordon has since taken the listing down, he added.

The spokesperson apologised for the error and said: “Our bespoke data base does not distinguish between flats and garages but we have taken the listing down and we’re working to rectify it.”
