What employers in the capital should know
Budgeting for the London Living Wage
If you pay, or plan to pay, the voluntary London Living Wage, build the annual rise into your payroll budget. The 2026–27 rate, announced on 15 October 2026, is £15.45 an hour, up from £14.80, against £14.10 for the real Living Wage elsewhere in the UK, because living costs are higher; accredited employers have until 1 May 2027 to apply it.

If you face a claim
If an employee brings a claim against you
London Tribunals Centre
7 Newgate Street, EC1A 7AZ
If a member of staff brings a claim against your business, it is handled by one of three Employment Tribunal regions — Central, East and South — each with its own Regional Employment Judge; no other part of England and Wales is split into three regions.
London Central claims are heard at the London Tribunals Centre, 7 Newgate Street, EC1A 7AZ, which opened in February 2026; GOV.UK describes it as the UK's largest dedicated tribunal centre, with 30 hearing rooms, and employment tribunals were the first in-person hearings there. You can check which venue covers your workplace with the GOV.UK court and tribunal finder. Whichever region hears it, the tribunal examines whether you followed a fair, documented process.

Hiring in tech and professional services
If you hire in tech or professional services, your contracts usually need confidentiality, intellectual-property and restrictive-covenant clauses, plus a clear hybrid-working policy, before you make offers. These sectors are a much bigger part of the capital's economy than elsewhere: professional, scientific and technical firms provide 14.4% of jobs here against 9.5% UK-wide, and information and communication 9.6% against 4.4%. Median full-time pay for jobs based in London was £958.20 a week gross in 2025 against £766.60 UK-wide, so benchmark offer letters against London pay, not national figures.
