About the time in Leiston
Leiston sits at latitude 52.22, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 13m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:49 and sunset at 08:03 local time, giving 14h 13m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (52.22, 1.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Leiston.
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.
