Time Difference: London to Lagos

Summary

See the current time in London and Lagos side by side, with the live UTC offset (WAT is UTC+1, no DST), 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 Africa/Lagos time (WAT, UTC+1).
4. The UTC offsets of both cities are compared to calculate the exact hour difference.
5. All three values — London time, Lagos time, and the offset — refresh every second.
6. When London switches between GMT and BST, the displayed offset adjusts automatically from +1 to 0 hours.
