About a 1:30 pm alarm
A 1 pm alarm is an early-afternoon reminder, often used for lunch-break limits and appointments. Many UK offices run lunch from 1 pm, so it is a natural cue to head back to your desk, and it is also the point when the London markets are well into their trading day. A half-past time is popular because it splits the hour neatly, leaving a relaxed gap before anything that starts on the hour. It works well if you want a short walk, a shower or a coffee before leaving, and it is a common choice for people on flexible or hybrid working patterns.
In London the sun is already up at 1:30 pm in every month. It is still dark, or already dark, at that time in none.
