How prayer times vary across the United Kingdom
On Thursday, 29 October 2026, Fajr begins earliest in London (5:12 AM) and latest in Glasgow (5:39 AM), a spread of 27 minutes on the clock. Maghrib, when the fast is opened in Ramadan, runs from 4:42 PM in Edinburgh to 4:54 PM in Cardiff. All of these cities share one time zone, so the differences come only from where each city lies.
Calculation method used in the United Kingdom
The Moonsighting Committee method adjusts Fajr and Isha by season, which suits the UK's long summer twilight; many UK mosques of South Asian heritage show the later Hanafi Asr, which you can switch to on this page.
- Method: Moonsighting Committee Worldwide, with Fajr at 18° (seasonally adjusted) and Isha at 18° (seasonally adjusted).
- Asr: Standard (Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali). Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its length (plus its noon shadow).
- How every method works is explained on our sources and methods page.
Time zone
- Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0 today): Birmingham, Blackburn, Bradford, Bristol, Cardiff, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Luton, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield

Frequently asked questions

You can change both on any city page.
Why are prayer times different across the United Kingdom?

When does Ramadan 2027 start in the United Kingdom?
