About Philippine Time

The Philippines is a fixed UTC+8. It is a heavily quoted zone in outsourcing schedules, which is why the pairs from it to North America are among the most searched on this site.

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

Watch out: Philippine Standard Time is often written PST locally — the same letters as US Pacific Standard Time, which is sixteen hours behind it.

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.

How the difference is worked out

The gap between Philippine Time and United Kingdom 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 — United Kingdom Time is 8 hours behind Philippine 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 Asia/Manila and Europe/London. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
