London, Ontario was named in 1793 by a lieutenant-governor who proposed it as the capital of Upper Canada, and he renamed the local river the Thames to match. The capital went to York, now Toronto, instead.
The clock: London keeps Eastern Time. It sits in Canada's most southerly region, on roughly the same latitude as the California–Oregon border.
London lies at 81.3°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 6.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 25 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:25 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 85 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:25.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 22m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h. The swing between them is 6h 21m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In London the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:45, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 21:08. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In London that civil twilight runs about 28 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 35 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
