Today's asr time london for Greater London, calculated live and updated every day. For the complete five-prayer timetable, see London prayer times.
When does Asr begin in London?
Asr London begins in the afternoon once shadows lengthen past a set point and lasts until sunset, though praying before the sun yellows is strongly encouraged.
Hanafi and Shafi'i Asr in London
In the Hanafi school, Asr begins when an object's shadow reaches twice its own length. In the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools it begins at one shadow length, which is noticeably earlier — often 45–90 minutes in London depending on the season. Use the toggle on the timetable above to match your madhhab.
How Asr is calculated for London
We use the Aladhan API with a shadow factor of two for the Hanafi calculation and one for the standard calculation, based on London coordinates and automatic GMT/BST handling.
Frequently asked questions
What time is Asr time London today?
The live timetable at the top of this page shows today's time for London. It refreshes daily and handles GMT/BST automatically.
Do mosque times in London match these times?
Mosques set jamā'ah (iqāmah) a few minutes after the prayer window opens, so mosque timetables often show slightly later times. Both are correct — one is the start of the window, the other the congregation.
Which calculation method do you use?
ISNA by default, with Muslim World League available and a Hanafi/Shafi'i toggle for Asr — the standards most widely used by UK mosques.
