Common questions

What is the time difference between Tokyo and London?

London is 9 hours behind Tokyo in winter and 8 hours behind, as BST, in summer. The table on this page lists common Tokyo hours with their London equivalents, and the converter gives the exact gap for any date you enter.

What time is it in London right now?

The London panel at the top of the page shows the current local time there, next to Tokyo, so you can compare at a glance. The offset line under it reports the gap for this moment, so you do not have to work out which side of a clock change you are on.

How do I convert a specific Tokyo time to London?

Type the Tokyo time into the box and the panel shows the same moment in London. For example, 09:00 in Tokyo on 1 June 2026 is 01:00 the same day in London. A time with no zone is read as Tokyo on this page; the selector under the box switches that to London or to your own zone, and a Unix number or an ISO 8601 string with an offset is always read as written.

Does the Tokyo to London difference change with daylight saving time?

Yes, twice. London moves its clocks on 29 March and 25 October in 2026, while Tokyo stays at UTC+9 all year, so the gap changes by an hour on each of those dates. parsetime computes the offset for the exact instant you enter, so the days around a change come out right as well.
