The Magic of the Winter Solstice in London
Today, Sunday 21st December 2025, is no ordinary day—it’s the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year in London! At exactly 3:03 PM GMT, we’ll enjoy just 7 hours, 49 minutes, and 42 seconds of daylight—making it a truly unique moment in the calendar.
The winter solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years as a time of renewal and hope. From ancient gatherings at Stonehenge to modern city festivities, Londoners have always found ways to bring warmth and light to the darkest day.
Did you know? After today, the days start getting longer—so it’s the perfect time to look forward to new beginnings and brighter opportunities at Palace Auctions during Christmas hours!
