London is located at 51.51°N, 0.13°W. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Europe/London timezone (GMT). It observes Daylight Saving Time, so sunrise and sunset times shift by one hour in spring and autumn.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In London this falls around 12:59 in mid-summer and 11:50 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
