Time Difference: London to Kuala Lumpur

Summary

See the current time in London and Kuala Lumpur side by side, with the live UTC offset (MYT is UTC+8, always ahead of GMT/BST), updated every second.

How it works

1. Your browser reads the current moment from your device clock.
2. It converts that moment to Europe/London time using the IANA timezone database built into modern browsers.
3. The same moment is converted to Asia/Kuala_Lumpur time (MYT, UTC+8).
4. The UTC offsets of both cities are compared to calculate the exact hour difference.
5. All three values — London time, Kuala Lumpur time, and the offset — refresh every second.
6. When London switches between GMT and BST, the displayed offset adjusts automatically from +8 to +7 hours.
