Understanding London time
London uses Europe/London. Its standard time is Greenwich Mean Time, GMT, at UTC+00:00. During British Summer Time, BST, the offset is UTC+01:00. London’s local clock is therefore not identical to UTC throughout the whole year.
London changes between GMT and British Summer Time seasonally. A reference to “London time” follows those changes; a reference to UTC does not. Check the date when translating a deadline that is written specifically in GMT or UTC.
Planning calls with London
London is a useful bridge between working hours in the Americas and Asia. For calls with New York, check the weeks when the US and UK change clocks on different dates. For Mumbai, allow for a half-hour component in the time difference.
