Current Time in London

London, the capital of the United Kingdom, operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer. As one of the world's leading financial centres, London time is crucial for global markets.

London is home to the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, which historically defined GMT — the basis for all world time zones. The city is 1 hour behind Berlin and 5 hours ahead of New York.

The London Stock Exchange opens at 08:00 local time, making London time essential for traders and investors worldwide. Business hours in London run from 09:00 to 17:00 GMT/BST.
