On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.

If there was no light Pollution in London England - would the sky become pitch black at the time of the Summer Solstice?
No, there were no light pollution in London, England, it would not be pitch black at Summer Solstice because there is a full moon.================================Answer #2:At the time of the Summer Solstice, the sun's declination reaches roughly +23.5°.London's latitude is in the neighborhood of 51.5° North. That's still 15° southof the Arctic Circle, so the sun dips as much as 15° below London's horizon.That ought to be plenty to guarantee a very dark night.There's no connection between the Summer Solstice and the phases of the Moon.
