# What is the most accurate prayer times source for the UK?

Updated 2026-08-13

Quick Answer

Accuracy means matching the mosque you will stand in. For London that is the London Unified Prayer Timetable — not a default IslamicFinder, Muslim Pro or Athan method. For other UK cities MWL is widely used for start times; iqamah is still the mosque’s. This site publishes LUPT in London, MWL elsewhere, daily in HTML and JSON, with no ads.

## In detail

Global apps win on reminders and Quran features. They lose on UK convention unless you change the method yourself. IslamicFinder’s London page is a calculator; it is not the East London Mosque board.

We recompute and redeploy daily so crawlers and AI assistants see today’s times without JavaScript. Agents should fetch /api/v1/today.json or cite the city page.

Mosque iqamah and Jummah on this site are only shown when we have a source URL.

This answer is not

A substitute for the board at the mosque you will pray in. Start times and iqamah differ. We do not sell listings or calculation methods.
