Letter: The real London
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: I found "The brave new metropolitans" (20 August) extremely offensive. But then I live in central London. As do tens of thousands of other families. What's to pioneer?
Yes, the centre of London is a brilliant place but it is mostly the people who live here who make it so vibrant. Who needs the approval of yuppies? Their arrogance is matched only by their ignorance of London. The nursery praised in the piece has nothing to do with the Thomas Coram Foundation, although they have consistently provided moral and financial support. It was established for local children by local parents. I was one of them.
