About the time in Swanage
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.
Swanage sits at latitude 50.61, 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.
Swanage 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.
