Convert a time for the selected date

Choose the date and time in London. The comparison is fixed to this city pair. Check the resulting New York time and local date; the difference can change with the selected date.

London uses Europe/London: GMT (UTC+0) or BST (UTC+1). New York uses America/New_York: EST (UTC−5) or EDT (UTC−4). London is usually five hours ahead, but four hours ahead when their clock-change schedules differ. In 2026 New York changes on 8 March and 1 November; London changes on 29 March and 25 October.

Compare your chosen date

Example: 8 October 2026

On 2026-10-08, 09:00 in New York is 14:00 in London on 2026-10-08. Both cities are on daylight saving time; London is five hours ahead.

Compare your chosen date

Adjust each person’s availability

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 workday in both cities on 2026-10-08, the shared window is 09:00–12:00 in New York and 14:00–17:00 in London. A meeting must finish within that window.

Adjust the hour ranges each participant accepts and compare the resulting windows. These ranges express preferences, not verified calendar availability; check other commitments and holidays separately.
