About

Working across 1 hours of time difference

Johannesburg and London are close enough (1 hours) that a normal workday call poses little challenge. Most slots between 10 AM and 4 PM in either city land cleanly in the other's business hours. Pick a time that suits the agenda; both teams can attend without disruption.

Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour twice a year. The North American DST window does not align with the European one, so the offset between Johannesburg and London can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.

FAQ

What's the best time for a meeting between Johannesburg and London?

Best overlap: 8:00 AM–11:00 AM Johannesburg time (2/2 zones in business hours). The strongest business-hour overlap is UTC 6:00–10:00, which is Johannesburg 8:00 AM–11:00 AM and London 7:00 AM–10:00 AM locally.

What is the time difference between Johannesburg and London?

Johannesburg is currently UTC+02:00 and London is UTC+01:00, a difference of 1 hours. The exact gap can shift by one hour when one city switches to or from Daylight Saving Time.

Should we shift the meeting if one city changes Daylight Saving Time?

Yes — when only one of the two cities observes DST, the overlap window moves by an hour. Re-check this page in the weeks around March/April and October/November and adjust your standing meeting accordingly. The 24-hour grid below always reflects the current correct offset.

Can I schedule a daily standup that works for both Johannesburg and London?

Yes — the offset is only 1 hours, so any mid-morning or mid-afternoon slot in either city will fall in working hours for both. A 10am or 3pm in Johannesburg usually works well.
