New York to London meeting time — find the best time to meet across ET & GMT.

The New York–London corridor is the busiest transatlantic business route in the world — banking, media, SaaS, and legal teams coordinate across it daily. The five-hour gap (four during the DST mismatch weeks) is forgiving: London's afternoon is New York's morning, giving one of the widest natural meeting windows of any international pairing.

Golden window with standard 9–5 hours: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM in London = 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM in New York · 3h of shared time.

Scheduling tips for New York ↔ London

  • Book important calls between 10:00–11:00 AM in New York — mid-window for both cities, so a small overrun hurts nobody.
  • Avoid scheduling before 8:00 AM ET: it is already early afternoon in London, but your NY attendees may still be commuting.
  • DST mismatch weeks (mid-March and late October) shift the gap to 4 hours for a few days — recheck recurring meetings then.
