Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Leicester is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. The Moonsighting Committee method then limits Fajr and Isha with its seasonal adjustment, a standard high latitude rule. How times are calculated

Ramadan timetable for LeicesterLeicester, the Sun and the clock
Leicester is in England and has about 370,000 people. Leicester lies 1.1° west of the 0° meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 5 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:05, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:05.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Leicester: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 61° above the horizon in June and only 14° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Leicester range from just 7h 38m in December to 16h 52m in June, a difference of 9h 14m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
The Muslim community in Leicester
At the 2021 census Islam was the religion of 23.5% of Leicester's residents, according to Wikipedia's article on the city. That put it just behind Christianity (24.7%) and ahead of no religion (23.0%), Hinduism (17.9%) and Sikhism (4.5%). A De Montfort University summary of the same census gives Muslims as 33%, up from 26% in 2011, but that figure appears to be measured among those who gave a religion, so it is not directly comparable. Asian residents were 43.4% of the population in 2021, including Indian (34.3%), Pakistani (3.4%) and Bangladeshi (1.9%). The article dates the arrival of migrants from the Indian subcontinent to the 1960s and adds the settlement of East African Asians from Kenya and Uganda in the early 1970s. After Idi Amin ordered Uganda's Asians out in 1972, about 5,000 to 6,000 of the first refugees settled in Leicester, nearly a quarter of that group.
The Story of Leicester heritage site says the first mosques were set up in houses, with local Muslims using homes on Sutherland Street by 1965. Pakistani Sunni Muslims established the Islamic Centre in 1968 in Highfields. As congregations grew in the 1970s the trustees began raising money for a purpose-built mosque, and the foundation stone of the Conduit Street building was laid on 27 August 1988. The complex has a prayer hall, offices, a school, a community hall, a sports hall, an imam's residence, a mortuary and a guest house. The site says Leicester has over 35 mosques, and that the Muslim Burial Council of Leicester received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Organisations in 2007.
For prayer times, Leicester lies at 52.6 degrees north. Clocks follow Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (UTC+1) in summer. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Leicester lasts about 19 hours on 21 June and 9 and a half hours on 21 December. Mosques differ on how they decide the start of Ramadan and Eid, and each sets its own congregation times.
