What is the London Living Wage?

The London Living Wage (LLW) is a London weighted minimum wage, which takes into account the higher living costs of London. The figure currently stands at £7.60 per hour; £1.87 above the National Minimum Wage

WHO WORKS OUT THE LLW?

The London Living Wage is worked out by the Greater London Authority (GLA) London Living wage Unit.

A copy of the GLA's report on the figure can be found in Living Wage Resources
