Time difference between London and Tokyo

Tokyo is 8 hours ahead of London. Put the other way round: London is 8 hours behind Tokyo.

London is UTC+1 in summer and UTC in winter; Tokyo is UTC+9 and UTC+9.

When you can both be at your desks

A nine-to-five in London and a nine-to-five in Tokyo do not overlap at all. Somebody has to move: the nearest workable slots are early morning in one city or late evening in the other, which is the kind of thing the planner is for.

Daylight saving

London changes its clocks for summer and Tokyo does not, so there is no single answer: the gap is 8 hours for the northern summer and 9 hours for the rest of the year.

Plan a meeting across more than two cities

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
