That's quite interesting because now I think about it whenever I've stayed in a 
hotel in the UK I seem to remember them being 24h format.
 
Esp Hilton who have integrated the clock into the entertainment system.
 
Clocks bought from shops have a little light or dot for pm or have an LED for 
am/pm.
 
I guess some might allow you to switch to 24h format but I haven't seen any 
myself.  I'll have to check the Argos catalogue!

Seems I remember business/vacations in the UK with bedside clocks in *24h* 
format…

Martin,

 

Thanks.

 

Would you say the 24 hour clock is used in all other aspects of public life in 
the UK?  Where would I find it used and not used?

Jerry,
 
If you visit http://www.journeycheck.com/southwesttrains/ and browse, you will 
see that British railway timetables use the 24 hour clock.
