What is the time difference between London and Manila?

Manila (PHT, UTC+8) is 8 hours ahead of London in winter (GMT, UTC+0) and 7 hours ahead in summer (BST, UTC+1). The Philippines does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so the offset changes only when the UK shifts its clocks in spring and autumn.

Does the Philippines observe Daylight Saving Time?

No. The Philippines uses PHT (UTC+8) year-round and has not observed DST since 1978. Only London shifts its clocks, which is why the London-Manila gap alternates between 8 and 7 hours each year.

When does the offset change from 8 to 7 hours?

The UK moves clocks forward on the last Sunday in March at 01:00 GMT, entering BST (UTC+1). At that point Manila goes from 8 hours ahead to 7 hours ahead. The gap returns to 8 hours on the last Sunday in October at 02:00 BST when the UK reverts to GMT.

What are the best meeting times for London and Manila?

During GMT (winter), a 09:00 London call lands at 17:00 in Manila — the end of their workday. During BST (summer), 09:00 London is 16:00 Manila, giving a slightly better window. An 08:00–10:00 London slot is the most realistic overlap for both cities' business hours.

Is this tool accurate for scheduling?

Yes. It uses the IANA timezone database embedded in your browser — the same source used by operating systems and calendar apps worldwide. Accuracy depends on your device clock being synchronized via NTP, which most devices do automatically.

PHT stands for Philippine Standard Time. It is UTC+8, used across the Philippines year-round. There is no Philippine Daylight Saving Time designation because the Philippines does not observe DST.
