Because the the earth rotates counter clockwise and the sun is fixed. Sunlight falls on London a few minutes before Dublin. The day length is the same so as the earth rotates, London loses sunlight by the same few minutes before Dublin.

There are two reasons, firstly, during the summer months in the northern or Southern Hemisphere, due to the tilt of the Earth there are longer days. Secondly, the UK observes DST (Daylight Saving Time) which means that sunsets occur one hour later in the summer than they would if DST was not observed. If the UK was on GMT all year round, it actually would be starting to get dark at 9pm in London.

In London, it takes about 30 to 35 minutes after sunset to become dark. If the sun set at 5:30 then it would get dark about 6 or 6:05.

During Summers its gets dark around 9 PM in London. This is because of the axis changing its position in regards to the equator. More sunlight is provided to UK as a result.

The earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees. As it rotates around the sun the parts of the planet tipped 'away' from the sun receive less sunlight over a 24 hour period.

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.
