Year distribution of sunrise and sunset times in London, England - 2026
The following graph shows sunrise and sunset times in London, England for every day of the year. There are two jumps in the graph that represent the hour change for Daylight Saving Time (DST) in London, England.
Daylight Dawn & dusk (civil twilight) Night Solar noon · Vertical steps in the curves = DST clock change
Earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in London
In London, the earliest sunrise of 2026 is on June 17 at 04:42, while the latest sunrise is on December 30 at 08:06. The earliest sunset is on December 12 at 15:51, and the latest sunset is on June 25 at 21:21.
London gets 8h 48m more daylight on the longest day than on the shortest one (16h 38m versus 7h 49m). Averaged over the whole year, a day lasts 12h 16m.
London Analemma
Due to Earth's tilted axis and slightly elliptical orbit, the Sun is never seen in the same position at noon in London. Throughout the year, it slowly traces this figure-eight:
Move along the curve to read the Sun's altitude and azimuth for any day of the year in London.
Over the year, the 12:00 Sun swings between just 15.1° above the horizon (around Dec 21) and 61.9° (around Jun 20) in London. The smaller loop sits at the top, the signature of a Northern Hemisphere analemma.
Detailed Analemma Chart
The technical chart below plots one dot per day, labels the first day of each month, marks the solstices, equinoxes, perihelion and aphelion, and draws the noon altitude of the equinoxes (90° minus your latitude) together with its ±23.4° seasonal limits.
Why does the figure look wider here than in the sky view above?
Both draw the same data, but with different conventions. The sky view uses the same scale on both axes, so it shows the analemma with its true proportions, as a camera would capture it: about 47° tall and only a few degrees wide. This chart, like most technical analemma diagrams, stretches each axis independently to fill the plot, expanding the narrow azimuth range several times so its day-to-day variation can actually be read. Also, azimuth is not sky distance: near the zenith, one degree of azimuth spans much less than one degree across the sky, which further widens the figure in this representation.
