Sunrise & sunset in London

Daylight in London

London’s daylight changes sharply across the seasons. Summer twilight can extend the usable evening, while winter days are much shorter; the calculator keeps the displayed times in London’s local time.

The result is a planning reference for the selected place and date, not a promise of clear skies or an unobstructed horizon. Hills, buildings, trees, weather, and the exact point within a city can change when the Sun is visible.

Use the right date and clock

Choose the date at your destination rather than converting a result from another time zone. Daylight-saving changes can alter the clock time even when the underlying seasonal shift is gradual.
