The London Living Wage rate

The Living Wage Employer Mark and Service Provider Recognition Scheme is an accreditation for businesses that wish to pay the voluntary Living Wage. 

The 2023 – 2024 Living Wage rate is:

  • £13.15 per hour in London
  • £12.00 per hour across the UK

The rate is updated annually based on changes to the cost of living. In November, they announce the new rate. Accredited businesses have until the next April to implement it.
