London prayer times overview

The London prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.

London prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа behind Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.

For London the coordinates 51.5074°N and 0.1278°W are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.

London prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.

The daytime interval in London today is 15 часов 8 минут — from sunrise at 05:32 to Maghrib at 20:40. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.

In London the period from Maghrib (20:40) to Fajr (02:52) lasts 6 часов 12 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.

In the summer season in London the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.

When preparing for prayer in London, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:52), Maghrib (20:40) and Isha (23:05) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for London, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Today's key reference points

  • Fajr — 02:52: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
  • Sunrise — 05:32: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
  • Dhuhr — 13:06: the time of the midday prayer.
  • Asr — 18:19: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
  • Maghrib — 20:40: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
  • Isha — 23:05: the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in London

QuestionWhy do London prayer times differ from the schedules of other cities?
Answer

Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.

QuestionHow often is the prayer schedule for London updated?
Answer

The prayer schedule in London is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.

QuestionCan this schedule be relied on during fasting in London?
Answer

Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:52) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:40): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.

QuestionIs it acceptable to use the prayer times of a nearby city in London?
Answer

It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for London according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
