Letter: London square meals
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.Sir: There is one type of space in London which, I suggest, is undervalued and underused, and that is the little squares dotted around Bloomsbury. They look as if they have never been touched since the Victorians planted gloomy laurels amid dreary tarmac paths and shabby grass strips.
Could they not be brightened up and used for eating? ('If only our capital were paved with cafes', 27 April.) It would bring life into these irreplaceable 'lungs' of the great urban sprawl, such as we have seen in Covent Garden.
Yours faithfully
