About a 11 am alarm
An 11 am alarm suits a late start, a brunch plan or a reminder before a lunchtime meeting. It is the time many UK shops and cafes are fully open, so it is a good cue to finish a morning errand. Because it falls exactly on the hour, this alarm lines up with the pips on BBC radio and with most train and bus departures, which makes it the easiest time to remember and to coordinate with other people. It is also the time most calendar reminders default to, so it rarely clashes with a meeting that starts on the half hour.
In London the sun is already up at 11 am in every month. It is still dark, or already dark, at that time in none.
