Prayer times by region in the United Kingdom

Our pages in the United Kingdom are organised in 4 regions. Choose your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and from north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in the United Kingdom

Times for United Kingdom use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC, UTC+1 in summer). In the capital London, Fajr is about 2:31 AM and Maghrib 9:21 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:59 AM and Maghrib at 3:53 PM. Daylight there ranges from 7 h 50 min to 16 h 38 min.

Our cities in the United Kingdom stretch from Londonderry in the west to Lowestoft in the east, and from Isle of Lewis in the north to Penzance in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Lowestoft about 36 minutes before Londonderry, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of London cannot replace that of your own city.
