QUESTIONS

How many hours is Tokyo ahead of London?

Tokyo is 8 hours ahead of London. That's calculated from each city's current UTC offset (UTC+1 for London, UTC+9 for Tokyo).

Does the time difference between London and Tokyo change during the year?

It can. London observes daylight saving time, so the gap shifts by an hour when clocks change. The live clocks above always reflect the current, correct difference.

What's the best time to schedule a meeting between London and Tokyo?

There's no window where both London and Tokyo are in standard 9-to-5 hours at the same time, so a live call means one side joins early or late. Converge can find the least-bad slot from everyone's real availability.
