Sehri and Iftar in London

For London, the evening fast opens at local sunset, shown as 5:49 pm today. The pre-dawn cutoff is calculated separately from the Fajr setting; sunrise is not used as the start of the fast. The page uses London’s coordinates (51.51, -0.13) and the Europe/London time zone.

Sunrise-to-sunset daylight in London lasts 10 hours 9 minutes today. Across the June and December solstices that daylight span differs by about 8 hours 49 minutes at this latitude. That helps explain why Ramadan feels very different when the lunar month returns in another season, but it should not be read as the fasting duration because Fajr occurs before sunrise.

Solar noon in London is 12:44 pm today, about 44 minutes after 12:00 on the local clock. That offset is one reason sunset can look unusually early or late when compared with another city that keeps the same time zone.

For comparison, sunset in Belfast is 6:05 pm today, 16 minutes later than in London. Travellers should therefore switch to the timetable for the place where they are actually observing the fast rather than carrying one city’s times across United Kingdom.

This timetable uses the Karachi prayer calculation setting. The calculation notes explain how the site handles Fajr, Isha and unusual daylight conditions, so that general methodology is not repeated on every location page.

Questions People Ask

Why can twilight calculations need special handling at London’s latitude?

If Fajr or Isha twilight cannot be resolved while sunrise and sunset still occur, the calculator uses one-seventh of the night for the missing boundary. During polar day or polar night the fallback can remain unavailable. Local religious guidance should take precedence.
