Understanding the Time Difference Between London and Singapore

Singapore uses the Asia/Singapore time zone (SGT) year‑round and does not observe daylight saving time. London switches between GMT and BST, so Singapore is usually 7 or 8 hours ahead depending on the season. Use the live clocks and 24-hour table for exact conversions on any date.

Best Hours for Business Communication

Many teams find the best overlap in London morning and Singapore late afternoon/early evening. If you schedule weeks ahead, re-check the conversion around UK DST changes because Singapore stays constant while London shifts by 1 hour.

Based on this overlap, we recommend scheduling meetings during the shared business hours window where both cities are within their typical 9:00–17:00 workday.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

London observes daylight saving time, while Singapore does not. That means the time difference changes by 1 hour when the UK switches between GMT and BST—so confirm the exact offset for your meeting date using the live clocks.

Practical Examples

For Remote Teams

For distributed teams, pick a stable London morning slot that lands in Singapore’s late afternoon. If the meeting repeats, rotate occasionally to share early/late times fairly, and verify conversions during UK DST weeks.

For International Business

When conducting business calls between London and Singapore, the morning hours in London typically offer the best overlap with afternoon hours in Singapore.
