Prayer Times in London — 2022

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for London — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:05, Dhuhr at 13:01, Asr at 16:45, Maghrib at 19:50 and Isha at 21:46. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:11. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/London timezone (UTC+1 · BST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

London sits in England, United Kingdom, at 51.5074°, -0.1278°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 9.0 million people.

For the latitude of London, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:11 and Maghrib is 19:50. Dhuhr (13:01) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United Kingdom, and why this page is calculated from London’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for London starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. UK mosques often follow the Muslim World League or a local board such as the London Central Mosque / HMC. A one-minute precaution is common in winter.

London’s Muslim population is one of the largest in Western Europe, with major congregations in Tower Hamlets, Newham, Brent and Southwark. Several well-known mosques (East London Mosque, London Central Mosque, Finsbury Park) publish their own sheets; they usually sit within a few minutes of a Muslim World League calculation for central London.

Qibla from London is 119.0° from true north (ESE), about 4,794 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Tower Hamlets (7 km), prayer times in Newham (11 km), prayer times in Slough (32 km), prayer times in Luton (46 km), prayer times in Reading (59 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for London is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
