About prayer times in London

London sits far enough north that, around midsummer, the sun never drops 18° below the horizon — the depth most methods use to define dawn. On those nights a strict angle method has no answer for Fajr or Isha, and every app falls back on a rule of its own. That is why London timetables disagree more in June than at any other time of year, and why the gap between methods in the figures below is measured in hours rather than minutes.

British mosques do not share one timetable. The times here use the Moonsighting Committee method, which adjusts the twilight by season instead of holding one angle all year and gives summer Fajr and Isha times close to what most London mosques print; the comparison column shows the Muslim World League result, which follows its fallback rule through the summer. If your mosque publishes a timetable, it is the one your congregation prays by.

Questions

What time is Fajr in London?
It moves through the year: in 2027 the earliest Fajr is 02:43 on 20 June and the latest 06:25 on 1 January, by the Moonsighting Committee method. Today's time is at the top of this page.
How long is the longest fast in London?
From Fajr to Maghrib, 18 h 42 min around 21 June, against 9 h 34 min around 19 December. Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, so which of those it falls nearer changes over time.
Which direction is the qibla from London?
119° from true north, along the great circle to the Kaaba, 4,794 km away.
Why does my app show different times for London?
Apps choose different calculation methods. At the June solstice the Muslim World League method puts Fajr at 01:02, against 02:43 here — 101 minutes apart. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib barely move between methods; Fajr and Isha are where they part.
