Save<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking outside at the miserable, dark, cold nights, fret not because warmer and sunnier evenings are on the way. It\u2019s been a pretty long winter already, with some shockingly cold temperatures across the country (and snow potentially on the way<\/a>), but relief is coming soon. The shortest day of the year<\/a> has been and gone, and the days are slowly getting longer. And you know what that means \u2013 8pm sunsets will return to London soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, the sun currently sets at a melancholy-inducing 4pm every evening. But that\u2019s slowly changing. And this year, to save us from the darkness, the clocks will change for British Summer Time on March 29<\/strong> \u2013 a day earlier than 2025. This brings the 8pm sunsets of 2026 even closer!<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s ready for lazy evenings sat outside the local pub<\/a> or wine bar<\/a>, or kicking back with tinnies in the park<\/a>? I sure am!<\/p>\n
