Does the sun go more than 18 degrees below the horizon at night in London England near the June Solstice?
DiamondXmas
At the June Solstice, the Sun is about 23.5 degrees north of the equator. London is at 51.5 degrees north latitude.
So at midnight around the solstice, the Sun is (90-51.5) + (90-23.5) degrees north of London. So, the Sun is 105 degrees away from London. The northern horizon is 90 degrees, so the Sun is only 15 degrees below the northern horion.

Does it get darker than astronomical twilight in London England on nights near the June solstice?
Wikipedia sez: "Astronomical twilight is defined to begin in the morning, and to end in the evening when the center of the Sun is geometrically 18 degrees below the horizon." London, England is at 51 degrees north latitude. At midnight in the June Solstice, the Sun is at a declination of 23.5 degrees (approximately), so the over-the-pole angular distance is (90-51) + (90-23.5) degrees, or 105 degrees. The horizon is 90 degrees, so the Sun is 15 degrees below the northern horizon at midnight on June 21. So, no, it won't meet the definition for "darker than astronomical twilight".
