Why are there only a few hours of daylight in london in the winter and many hours of daylight in the summer?
The planet Earth has an axial tilt of 23 and a half degrees, relative to the plane of its orbit around the sun (the plane of the ecliptic). Thus, during the winter in England, the Earth is tilting away from the sun, and during the summer it is tilting toward the sun.
What is the name of the day when there are the most daylight hours?
Ideally, the summer solstice is the day with the most sun. It's either June 20th or June 21st. It depends on the year, and what the government decides to publish it as. I've seen it vary a few times, but I've mostly seen it as the 21st.

All of Antarctica is south of 66 degrees S -- the Antarctic Circle. The circle marks the place beyond which there is at least one 24 hour period of no sunrise/ sunset per year.Antarctica is found between 60 degrees and 90 degrees S. This means that depending on where you are on the continent, the hours of daylight during summer will be 24 and the number of days with no sunset may vary from a few to six months

Is the 'rate of change' of daylight highest during equinox?
Yes. Around the time of the summer or winter solstice, the variation in day lengths from day to day is small - by only a few seconds or so. After a solstice, heading towards the following Equinox, the rate of change gradually increases, up to around 4 minutes a day around the Equinox. If you plotted the lengths of day in daylight hours versus day of year, it would look like a sine wave with a peak at the summer solstice and a trough at the winter solstice.
