Meet the new leader

A place in history

How to get involved
UK’s first Living Wage Building
International House in Brixton has been recognised as the UK’s first Living Wage Building. All tenants based within the co-working building are obliged to pay at least the London Living Wage to their employees and contractors.
Improving our health together
Lambeth Together is a bold and ambitious plan to improve health and social care in our borough. Dr Adrian McLachlan, a local GP and chairman of NHS Lambeth CCG describes why we need to think differently to prepare for the future.
