About This Time Zone Pair
US–Europe scheduling requires afternoon US time to coincide with late-afternoon European hours. An additional planning note: the US/Canada and EU switch clocks on different dates — North America transitions about 2–3 weeks before Europe in spring, and roughly 1 week after Europe in fall. During those windows, the offset between Los Angeles and London shifts by one hour from what standing calendar invites may show.
Los Angeles (PDT) is 8 hours behind London (GMT+1). When it's 9:00 AM in Los Angeles, it's 5:00 PM in London.
Los Angeles and London observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between the two cities may shift by one hour during DST transitions — particularly if the two regions change their clocks on different dates.
The best window for live meetings between Los Angeles and London is 9am–10am PDT — that's 5pm–6pm GMT+1 for London. Outside this window, async communication or recorded video is more practical.
