Ramadan 2024 timetable for Fajr and Iftar in London with fasting soon set to begin

Ramadan is one of the holiest and most important periods in the Islamic calendar – with fasting set to begin on March 11.

Muslims across the UK and all over the globe commemorate the revelation of the Qur’an, and embark on 30 days of fasting during daylight hours.

The festival officially begins on Monday, March 11, according to Islamic Relief, although this is dependent on the sighting of the moon, with the Holy month of Ramadan rotating by approximately ten days each year.

During Ramadan, the daily fast begins before dawn with a meal called Suhoor, and is broken for the day with an evening meal called Iftar after sunset – with exact times for each varying depending on where you live.

Suhoor can be eaten until the beginning of the ‘first light’ of dawn. Suhoor is eaten before Fajr time.

For those in London, the below dates are followed by two times – Fajr and Iftar:

Keep in mind that these are London times, shared by Islamic Relief from the East London Mosque.
