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.You can tell the housing market is getting better when people start paying telephone numbers for something not much bigger than a phone box. Stern Studios has just sold a flat in Queen's Gate, Knightsbridge, that is so small you can stand in the middle and touch each wall.
The 12ft by 5ft bolthole went to a City worker fed up with struggling through
train strikes.
The previous owner had rented it out, but succumbed to the offer of pounds 31,000 - more than pounds 515 per sq ft. At that rate, a 2,500 sq ft detached house would cost more than pounds 1m. The owner does get a shower and kitchenette as well, says Stern, but that will be the only bit on the side, as a double bed appears out of the question. Even a single will be a squeeze.
