GMT means UTC+0 year-round. London uses GMT in winter. When the UK observes summer time the abbreviation becomes BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1). GMT and UTC share the same offset (UTC+0) but are technically distinct standards. The city planner uses Europe/London.

About This Time Zone Pair

US–Europe calls usually fit best in the US morning and European afternoon. Use the overlap table for the exact cities and date.

During those windows, the offset between Los Angeles and London changes by one hour. A city-anchored calendar invite keeps the anchor city fixed while the other city's local time changes.

Los Angeles (PDT) is currently 8 hours behind London (BST). For September 12, 2026: 9:00 AM PDT = 5:00 PM BST.
