About the time in England and Wales
The zone identifier Europe/London is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/London keeps pointing at London time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
England and Wales runs on Europe/London, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
England and Wales sits at latitude 52.50, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 22m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
