Woburn House in Tavistock Square, London has become London Living Wage accredited by the London Living Wage Foundation www.livingwage.org.uk The national living wage is an independent calculation which is based on cost of living and what people need to get by. The London Living Wage is set at a higher rate to take into account the additional costs associated with living in the capital. In order to qualify for accreditation, all staff and contractors must be paid a minimum of the London Living Wage which is currently set at £10.55 per hour.
