Sleep Radio with a Live London Clock
Quiet instrumental sleep programming in the Shipping Forecast tradition — a dim GMT clock and nothing that will wake you.
Britain has known for a century that the best sleep aid on radio is calm, rhythmic, and slightly beside the point — generations have drifted off to the Shipping Forecast reciting sea areas like a lullaby with paperwork. This station is our instrumental heir to that tradition.
No voices, though: slow piano and soft strings at Forecast hours and every other hour too, mixed flat and warm. The London clock keeps true GMT and BST, dimmed for the bedside, and the scene holds the city's low night sky over the rooftops.
For light sleepers, late readers, and anyone whose day ends long after the Tube does. Dogger, Fisher, German Bight — sleep well.
