London to PKT

About United Kingdom Time

The United Kingdom is on GMT (UTC+0) for about five months and BST (UTC+1) for the rest, changing on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. Ireland keeps exactly the same clock, so every figure here applies to Dublin as well as London.

Cities on this clock: London, Lisbon, Dublin, Edinburgh, Manchester.

About Pakistan Standard Time

Pakistan is a fixed UTC+5. Two short daylight-saving experiments in 2002 and 2008–09 were abandoned, so nothing shifts now.

Cities on this clock: Tashkent, Almaty, Karachi, Lahore.

Watch out: Pakistan Standard Time is abbreviated PST locally, which is the same abbreviation as US Pacific Standard Time — thirteen hours away.

How the difference is worked out

The gap between United Kingdom Time and Pakistan Standard Time is not one number. The two zones change their clocks on different dates, so for part of the year the difference is 4 hours and for the rest it is something else — the table above lists each stretch of 2026 with the date it starts and which country's clocks moved.

With both zones on their own standard time — daylight saving not in force anywhere — Pakistan Standard Time is 5 hours ahead of United Kingdom Time. That figure never changes; everything else on this page follows from it plus whichever clocks have moved.

Every figure here comes from the IANA time zone database via your browser's own Intl engine, using the zone ids Europe/London and Asia/Karachi. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
