Bengaluru

Asia/Kolkata

Never changes clocks. Fixed at UTC+05:30 all year.

London

Europe/London

Changes clocks twice a year, between UTC+00:00 and UTC+01:00. Next change Sunday, 25 October 2026.

When Bengaluru and London can actually talk

On a standard 09:00–17:00 day in both cities, the working hours overlap for 3.5 hours. That window is 13:30–17:00 in Bengaluru, which is 09:00–12:30 in London.

That is tight. A recurring call here has very little slack, so a daylight saving shift at either end can wipe the window out entirely.

Calculated for Monday, 14 September 2026. Because the gap changes during the year, this window moves with it — the planner recomputes it for any date you pick.

Questions

Bengaluru and London, explained

What is the time difference between Bengaluru and London?

There is no single answer, which is why most converters get this wrong for part of the year. London is 5 hours 30 minutes behind, 4 hours 30 minutes behind relative to Bengaluru at different points in the year. Right now it is 4 hours 30 minutes behind. The table on this page gives the exact dates for each.

Why does the difference between Bengaluru and London change?

Bengaluru stays on UTC+05:30 all year, while London moves between UTC+00:00 and UTC+01:00. A gap only stays fixed when both ends are fixed. Here one end moves, so the difference moves with it even though nothing changed at the other end.

When is the difference between Bengaluru and London unusual?

The shortest window runs from Sunday, 25 October 2026 to Saturday, 27 March 2027 — 154 days during which London is 5 hours 30 minutes behind relative to Bengaluru rather than the usual amount. Short windows like this are where recurring meetings break, because nobody thinks to check.

Does this account for daylight saving automatically?

Yes. Offsets come from your device's own copy of the IANA time zone database through the browser's Intl API, so they reflect whatever rules are current rather than a table bundled here that could go stale. Pick any date in the converter and it resolves that date's rules, not today's.
