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.Not everyone enjoys being dragged around the shops on holiday. But flea markets - with their quirky stalls, colourful wares, and potential for hidden treasures – can prove entertaining attractions in their own right. Here we’ve rounded up ten of the world’s best.
From Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market in New York, where a slight trek out of the Big Apple's centre will take you to precious jewels and designer vintage bargains, to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Thailand, where vendors sell from canoes to shoppers who wander along the banks. Our capital's Portobello Road also makes the list, where everything from antiques to fruit and veg is popular with both locals and tourists.
