New York → London Time Converter
Convert New York (ET) to London (GMT/BST) and multiple destinations. Use City/IANA/Abbreviation selectors, toggle Live ticking clocks or a Custom origin time, select display formats, and copy exact formatted timestamps for meetings, publications, or broadcasts.
Pick a selector and targets
Choose City, IANA or Abbreviation mode. Set New York as the origin and add London plus any other destinations to compare side-by-side.
Live ticking clocks or a fixed candidate time
Toggle Live to monitor current local times, or enter a custom New York time (past or future) to convert for multiple destinations at once.
Select display formats
Pick one or more output formats (24h, 12h, ISO, full date, or custom) so the strings you copy match calendar or publication needs.
Use per-destination actions
For each destination card you can Swap origin/destination, Copy the formatted time, open DST Info, or jump to the Jet-Lag planner for that timezone.

Practical Tips
Prime window for transatlantic calls
A dependable overlap is New York 08:00–11:00 ET ↔ London 13:00–16:00 GMT/BST. This range avoids early mornings in New York and late evenings in London for typical business days.
Finance & markets note
When coordinating traders or analysts, be mindful of stock market open/close times (NYSE vs LSE). Use the converter to copy exact local timestamps for reports or deadlines.
Media scheduling tip
If booking live interviews, prefer late-morning NY slots (which are afternoon in London) to maximize audience reach in both regions.
DST transition caveat
New York and London usually differ by 5 hours, but around DST changeovers the offset may shift temporarily. Use the Info action to confirm current DST status for any destination before finalizing times.
FAQs
Is New York always five hours behind London?
Most of the year the numeric offset between New York and London is 5 hours (NY = UTC−5 standard / UTC−4 daylight; London = UTC+0 standard / UTC+1 daylight). Offsets can temporarily change during the few weeks when DST switches do not align exactly — check Info for current status.
How do I paste times into calendar invites?
Use Copy on any destination card to copy an exact formatted date + time string (e.g., “08:30 ET / 13:30 GMT”) and paste it into your invite so recipients see the correct local time.
Can I convert once and copy many formatted strings?
Yes—enter one origin time (Live or Custom) and copy formatted strings from each destination card to paste into messages, spreadsheets, or calendar invites.
How It Works
- Accepts one origin and multiple destinations in City, IANA, or Abbreviation selectors.
- Applies tzdb offsets so Live clocks tick in real time and Custom mode converts a static origin time across destinations.
- Displays formatted local date/time, timezone label, and numeric offset; flags date-rollover when a converted time falls on another calendar day.
- Provides per-destination quick actions: Swap, Copy formatted time, Info (DST details), and Jet-Lag planner link.
