About the time in Polstead
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 05:51 and sunset at 08:07 local time, giving 14h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (52.02, 0.89) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Polstead.
Polstead is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +1 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
