Vedic traditions in London

London has the largest Hindu community in Europe, with strong centres in Harrow, Wembley, Southall, Ilford and Croydon. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden was the first traditional stone Hindu temple in Europe, and Diwali on Trafalgar Square has become a fixture of the city's calendar.

London by the numbers

Daylight in London today lasts 9 h 47 min. Over the year it ranges from about 7 h 50 min to 16 h 39 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 59 to 125 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.

Sunrise in London today is 6:50 AM, 8 minutes earlier on the clock than in Coventry (138 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

On 30 October the sunrise Tithi in London is Krishna Panchami; in Delhi it is Krishna Panchami. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.

Vedic astrology for families in United Kingdom

British Indian families have kept Vedic traditions alive for generations, from Navratri garba nights to Diwali on Belgrave Road. In the UK the clocks switch between GMT and British Summer Time, and summer days are far longer than in India, so Rahu Kaal and the Abhijit Muhurat can be very different in length. Use these pages for timings that match your own city.

Time in London and why it matters

London is on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0), 5 h 30 min behind India.

London uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:

• 25 October 2026: clocks go back to UTC+0
• 28 March 2027: clocks go forward to UTC+1
• 31 October 2027: clocks go back to UTC+0

If you were born in London, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.
