London Living Wage Week. A lot done, a lot still to do
The real living wage in London rose to £11.05 an hour on Monday. Its higher than the national minimum wage and is progress in the right direction. Even so with inflation at 4.2% more is needed. Many are campaigning for £15 an hour which would still make living in London a struggle for many
Still marking progress is always worth doing and the Pembury Tavern in Hackney is doing just that. They and the brewery that owns them are London Living Wage employers. Far too many have not yet even reached that basic standard.

We are proud to be a part of and support London Living Wage Week. Which is why we dedicate a whole week to pouring our favourite Living Wage Breweries on the taps.
This year marks the 20th year of the Living Wage movement, which we think is cause for celebration. 20 years ago, the idea started at a meeting in a church hall in our very own heartlands, East London. Two decades later, we can celebrate that there are now over 8,000 accredited employers.
We will have a variety of beers across both cask and keg from breweries across the county, so we hope to see you for a pint or two!
