Why these times

Watford follows the London Unified timetable

Mosques across London and the M25 — including East London Mosque and London Central Mosque — use the London Unified Prayer Timetable, not generic astronomical times. Here is how today's times (Friday, 25th September 2026) compare with the Muslim World League (MWL) method, which can be 10–60 minutes out at London's latitude in summer.

Prayer London Unified Astronomical (MWL) Difference
Fajr 05:20 05:09 11 min later
Sunrise 06:48 06:52 4 min earlier
Dhuhr 12:57 12:53 4 min later
Asr 16:07 16:06 1 min later
Maghrib 18:55 18:53 2 min later
Isha 20:12 20:36 24 min earlier

London Unified is the default here because it is what local mosques follow. The astronomical column is shown for comparison only. Why do London prayer times differ?

How are Watford prayer times calculated?

Watford times follow the London Unified Prayer Timetable, adopted in 2011 by Hizbul Ulama UK and the Central Moon Sighting Committee of Great Britain and used by mosques across London and the M25, including East London Mosque and London Central Mosque. Its Fajr and Isha come from dawn and twilight observations rather than a fixed astronomical angle, which is why generic apps can differ — see why London prayer times differ. Our copy of the published timetable is taken from londonsalahtimes.com and checked against East London Mosque’s timetable.

Asr: today’s Standard (Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanbali) Asr begins at 16:07 and Hanafi Asr at 16:56. The Hanafi rule waits until an object’s shadow is twice its length, so it is always later.

Start times, not congregation times: the tables show when each prayer window opens. Each mosque sets its own iqamah (jama’ah) and Jummah times, and there is no fixed gap between the two — check your mosque’s timetable. Our methods and sources.
