About the time in Houghton
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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:03 and sunset at 08:06 local time, giving 14h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (50.89, -0.58) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Houghton.
Houghton 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.
