More than 140,000 Londoners will get a pay boost of 5.3 per cent as it was revealed on Wednesday that the capital’s “real living wage” has increased to £13.85 per hour.
The rise represents a boost of 70p from the previous rate of £13.15, which is paid on a voluntary basis by the 4,000 London employers who have signed up to the benchmark set by the Living Wage Foundation (LWF).
