Current time in London

London is one of the world's great global cities. Stretching along the River Thames, it has grown over nearly two thousand years from a small Roman settlement into an international center of culture, finance, and history. Today, it is home to people from every corner of the world, including one of Europe's largest Muslim communities.

London observes Greenwich Mean Time (GMT / UTC+0) during the winter and switches to British Summer Time (BST / UTC+1) from spring through autumn. The live clock at the top of this page automatically follows these seasonal changes and updates in real time within your browser.

Located at approximately 51.5° north latitude, London experiences dramatic seasonal changes in daylight. Summer brings long, bright evenings, while winter days are much shorter. As a result, sunrise, sunset, and daily prayer times vary significantly throughout the year, following the sun's changing position.

Prayer times on this page are calculated using the Muslim World League method. You can also view the full monthly prayer schedule, use the Prayer Clock to see how much time remains until the next prayer, and access the Qibla Finder to determine the direction of Makkah accurately from anywhere in London.
