Story in the London Evening Standard

The London Living Wage is to rise to £10.20 an hour, Sadiq Khan has announced. 

The Mayor said the voluntary rate in the capital would increase by 45p. It will be above the Government's national living wage of £7.50 for over 25-year-olds.

More than 1,000 businesses in the capital are signed up to pay the voluntary rate including Ikea, Lloyds TSB and London's Borough Market.

Outside London, businesses who are signed up for the living wage will pay their employees £8.75 up by 30p from £8.45. 

The living wage is separate from the Government's statutory National Living Wage which was introduced last year and is expected to rise to £9 per hour by 2020.
