Current Time in London

Summary

See the live current time and date in London with DST awareness, UTC offset, and a side-by-side comparison with your local time.

How it works

1. The tool reads your device clock using the JavaScript Date API.
2. It converts the current moment to the Europe/London timezone using Intl.DateTimeFormat with the IANA identifier.
3. The display refreshes every second so the clock stays live and accurate.
4. DST transitions are handled automatically — the tool shows BST (UTC+1) in summer and GMT (UTC+0) in winter.
5. Your local time and timezone offset are displayed alongside London time for easy comparison.
6. The UTC offset and DST status update automatically when clocks change.
