About

This site answers one question: is the london stock exchange open? It shows the current answer, the reason, and a live countdown until the next opening or closing.

The answer is computed in your browser from London time, the 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM weekday session, the London Stock Exchange business-days calendar and its Christmas/New Year half days for 2026-27.

What this site is not: it is not a live feed of trading activity, and it is not investment advice. The published calendar can change. Always confirm with your broker or the official source before trading.

This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to London Stock Exchange or any exchange, regulator, or trade association.
