Pubs in the sun in London: Sat 24 Oct against Sun 25 Oct.
Why your 4pm went dark
The sun has not moved: it crosses London at the same angle this Sunday as it did on Saturday, and it leaves the same gardens at the same moment. What moved is the clock — the hour we now call 4pm is the hour we called 5pm the day before, and by then most of the city is in shadow.

Move your pint an hour earlier
Everything Saturday's after-work crowd had at 4pm is still there — it is called 3pm now, and that is where the sunny pint lives until the clocks go forward.
