When the Outer London Allowance was last reviewed for (a) teachers, (b) police officers and (c) civil servants.
For teachers, the geographical areas covered by the different teacher pay ranges were defined some years ago to reflect a practical approach to compensate teachers working in London. The School Teachers’ Review Body has not recommended any changes to London pay ranges in recent years; however, the Department is currently considering what additional flexibilities should be built into the statutory pay and conditions framework as a result of our commitment on changes to pay and conditions through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and we will keep this matter under review. For police officers, there’s London Weighting and London Allowance. There’s not an inner and outer London rate – it’s the same across all of London. London Weighting and London Allowance were last reviewed by the Police Remuneration Review Body in the 2025/26 pay round. Decisions on pay, including London weighting, are delegated to individual departments for grades below the Senior Civil Service (SCS); departmental policies on London weighting are not collected centrally. The SCS pay framework is managed centrally and only operates a national pay range.
