London to Los Angeles Time FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting time between the UK and Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is normally 8 hours behind London. For most of the year this means when it is 12:00 noon in London, it is 4:00 am in Los Angeles the same day.
Both the UK and the US observe daylight saving time, but they change their clocks on different dates in spring and autumn. For a short window of about one to three weeks each year, London is only 7 hours ahead of Los Angeles rather than the usual 8.
In spring, the US typically moves to daylight saving time about two to three weeks before the UK does. In autumn, the UK typically moves back to standard time about one week before the US does, which is why the gap briefly shifts to 7 hours during these transition periods.
A common overlap window is mid-morning in Los Angeles, which falls in the late afternoon or early evening in London. For example, 9:00 am to 11:00 am in Los Angeles typically corresponds to around 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in London.
