New York to London Time Converter

Data generated: July 31, 2026

New York and London anchor the busiest transatlantic business relationship in the world, from finance to media to logistics.

The two cities sit five hours apart for most of the year, with London always ahead.

Because the United States and the United Kingdom shift to daylight saving time on different dates each spring and autumn, the gap briefly narrows to four hours for a week or two in March and again in late October or early November.

Teams that schedule recurring calls across this pair are the ones most likely to get caught out by that short-lived exception.

As of July 31, 2026, London is 5 hours ahead of New York (New York is UTC-4, London is UTC+1). New York is currently on daylight saving time; London is currently on daylight saving time.
