São Paulo → London Time Converter
Convert São Paulo (BRT) 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 clear cross-region scheduling.
Select how to pick zones
Choose City, IANA, or Abbreviation mode. Set São Paulo as origin and add London and any other destinations you need to compare.
Watch live clocks or freeze a candidate time
Use Live mode for ticking destination clocks (helpful when monitoring overlaps) or set a fixed São Paulo time to generate converted timestamps for many cities at once.
Choose display formatting
Pick the output format(s) you prefer (24h/12h/ISO/full date/custom) so copied strings match your scheduling workflow.
Use per-card quick actions
For every destination card: Swap origin/destination, Copy the formatted time string, open DST Info, or jump to the Jet-Lag planner for that timezone.
Features
- Batch one→many conversions Convert a single São Paulo time into a compact list of destination cards so you can scan multiple local times at once.
- Overlap hints for Europe ↔ LATAM See suggested windows that balance São Paulo daytime with London business hours — useful when scheduling same-day transatlantic calls.
Practical Tips
Typical overlap for calls
A practical overlap often used is São Paulo 10:00–13:00 BRT ↔ London 14:00–17:00 GMT/BST (Paris/London windows differ slightly during DST). Use these ranges to schedule calls that avoid late evenings for either side.
Date awareness
London can be several hours ahead or behind depending on DST — when San Paulo times fall near midnight, double-check the local date in both cities before pasting into invites.
Banking & clearance note (usage tip)
When giving timestamps for payments or deadlines, copy the exact local date+time using the Copy action and paste the formatted string into instructions to avoid ambiguity across regions.
Live vs Custom guidance
Live is great for real-time coordination; Custom is ideal for preparing candidate slots to paste into calendar invites or scheduling polls.
FAQs
What is the offset between São Paulo and London?
São Paulo typically uses Brasília Time (BRT, UTC−3) year-round; London is GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer. That means the numeric offset can vary depending on whether London is on BST. (São Paulo currently does not observe DST.)
Does São Paulo observe Daylight Saving Time?
No — Brazil abolished daylight saving time and São Paulo remains on BRT year-round. Use the Info action to check DST for any destination you add.
When does London switch between GMT and BST?
British Summer Time (BST) starts and ends on defined Sundays (last Sunday in March → last Sunday in October), shifting the UK from GMT (UTC+0) to BST (UTC+1); check a destination’s Info for current status.
How should I paste times into invites?
Copy both local date and time from destination cards (use the Copy action) and paste the formatted string (e.g., “Mon 14:00 BRT / Mon 18:00 GMT”) into your invite to avoid confusion.

How It Works
- Accepts one origin and many destinations using City, IANA or Abbreviation selectors.
- Uses tzdb offsets so Live mode shows ticking destination clocks and Custom mode converts a static origin time across destinations.
- Displays local date/time, timezone labels and numeric offsets; flags date-rollovers where applicable.
- Per-destination quick actions: Swap, Copy formatted time, Info (DST details) and Jet-Lag planner link.
