Minimum wage in uk

Can you live off of minimum wage in uk. How is life there for newcomers doing minimum wage.
SW-User
National Living Wage (23+) £10.42
21-22 Year Old Rate £10.18
18-20 Year Old Rate £7.49
16-17 Year Old Rate £5.28

Can you live on it? Well it depends on a lot of things, how much rent / mortgage you have and also dependents etc.
It's not very much and the rate for an apprentice is even lower I believe.
I am not sure what profession has a minimum wage barrier in Uk right now. But let's say if it's around then £10 per hours I can easily survive.

Assuming you work full time, you survive on it but it's definitely not a 'living wage' like they make it out to be.
We're in London, it's £11.95.
11.95x40x4= 1912.

Tax and rent would wipe that out.
