London to SGT

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 Singapore Time

Singapore is a fixed UTC+8 even though it sits near 104°E, where solar noon falls closer to UTC+7 — it moved forward half an hour in 1982 to share a clock with peninsular Malaysia and Hong Kong. The practical effect is that the sun there rises and sets unusually late for the clock.

Cities on this clock: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore.

How the difference is worked out

The gap between United Kingdom Time and Singapore Time is not one number. The two zones change their clocks on different dates, so for part of the year the difference is 7 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 — Singapore Time is 8 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/Singapore. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
