Prayer Times in Bristol, United Kingdom
Prayer times in Bristol are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (51.46°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across the United Kingdom. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Bristol's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in United Kingdom. They are drawn from Bristol's own coordinates (51.4552°N, 2.5966°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Bristol's prayer times are worked out
From Bristol, the Qibla is 116° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,943 km (3,071 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bristol's own coordinates (51.46°N, 2.60°W), not a national average. That is why Bristol's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Bristol timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bristol lies well west inside its London time zone. So the sun peaks about 19 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:16 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 41m near June down to 9h 55m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Bristol come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Bath, Mendip and Weston-super-Mare. Each is only a few minutes off Bristol's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in the United Kingdom
UK mosques are split. Deobandi and Barelvi mosques, the majority, follow the Hanafi Asr. Arab, Salafi and African mosques use the earlier standard time. Many UK timetables print both. The time shown above for Bristol is the standard reckoning — 5:13 PM. The Hanafi time today is 6:16 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Who sets prayer times in the UK
There is no national authority: every British mosque sets its own timetable. In London most of the major mosques follow the Unified Prayer Timetable for London. They agreed it among themselves and adopted it from Ramadan 2011. Users include the Islamic Cultural Centre and London Central Mosque, the East London Mosque and Muslim Welfare House. Outside London, mosques generally use Muslim World League angles (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°), the basis this page applies. This is why two mosques a few miles apart can print different times. It is worth checking your own mosque's timetable, rather than assuming a single national answer exists.
The Asr split in British mosques
Britain's Asr time depends on which mosque you attend, and the split is real. The most recent mosque census counted nearly 2,000 active British masjids. Deobandi and Barelvi mosques are both Hanafi, and together around two thirds of that total. They call Asr on the second-shadow rule. Arab, Salafi, Somali and West African mosques use the earlier standard time. Many British timetables print both columns for exactly this reason, and so does this page. Three landmarks stand out. London Central Mosque in Regent's Park was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd and completed in 1977. The East London Mosque in Whitechapel opened its current building in 1985, and was among the first in Britain permitted to broadcast the adhan aloud. Birmingham Central Mosque was built in 1969.

That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.

How long is the fast in Bristol?

Because British mosques follow different schools. Deobandi and Barelvi mosques make up roughly two thirds of UK masjids, and they use the Hanafi Asr. It begins when an object's shadow is twice its length, about 75 minutes later than the standard reckoning used by Arab, Salafi and African mosques. There is no national authority to settle it, so many UK timetables simply print both. This page shows both times.
