# What time is Fajr in London today?

Updated 2026-09-08

Quick Answer

Fajr in London today follows the London Unified Prayer Timetable — the official timetable used by East London Mosque, London Central Mosque and most mosques inside the M25. Exact times update daily on the London prayer times page.

## In detail

London does not use a fixed astronomical angle for Fajr. Instead, mosques follow the London Unified Prayer Timetable (LUPT), adopted in 2011 by Hizbul Ulama UK and the Central Moon Sighting Committee. Its Fajr times come from dawn and twilight observation tables.

Generic apps that use Muslim World League (18°) or ISNA (15°) often differ from London mosque times by several minutes to over an hour in summer, because at London’s latitude the sun may not reach those angles.

Always confirm iqamah (congregation) time with your local mosque — the times we publish are prayer start times, not when the congregation begins.

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.

## Related questions

Why is Fajr different on my app?

Most apps use a fixed angle (e.g. 18°). London mosques use the London Unified Prayer Timetable based on dawn and twilight observations.

Is sunrise the same as Fajr?

No. Fajr begins at true dawn, before sunrise. Sunrise ends the Fajr window for the obligatory prayer.
