How are prayer times calculated for Ilford?
Sitting at roughly 51.56°N in Greater London, Ilford has its own sunrise and sunset each day, so its prayer times are worked out from its exact position rather than a regional average.
Today the sun rises at 07:35 and Maghrib falls at 17:51, giving 10h 16m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:43) and Isha (currently 19:37) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Ilford, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 119° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 4,784 km.
Prayer times in Ilford are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Barking (3 km), Tottenham (10 km) and Enfield (15 km).
