The Shared Hours Hour by Hour
Each row is an hour of the London working day with its Toronto time. Check marks show where Toronto is at work as well. On the usual 5-hour gap London's 2:00 to 5:00 PM qualifies, three hours in all; in the 4-hour weeks Toronto's day starts an hour earlier on London's clock, which adds a fourth.
| London | Toronto (GMT → EST) | Toronto (BST → EDT) | Toronto (GMT → EDT) |

Each row is an hour of the London day. A check mark means both cities are inside a 9 AM to 5 PM working day at that moment.
- GMT → EST: 3 hours shared, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM London time.
- BST → EDT: 3 hours shared, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM London time.
- GMT → EDT: 4 hours shared, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM London time.
When the Gap Isn't 5 Hours
Ontario changes its clocks on US dates and the UK on different ones, so for two short stretches only one side is on summer time and the gap drops to 4 hours:
- From the second Sunday in March (Toronto moves to EDT) to the last Sunday in March (London moves to BST): 2 to 3 weeks.
- From the last Sunday in October (London moves back to GMT) to the first Sunday in November (Toronto moves back to EST): 1 week.
Every other week the gap is 5 hours.
London Afternoon, Toronto Morning
London's 2:00 to 5:00 PM is 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Toronto in most weeks, inside both working days. Calls before 2:00 PM in London ask Toronto to join before 9:00 AM. In the 4-hour weeks the window starts at 1:00 PM in London.
| London | Toronto |
|---|---|
| 2:00 PM–5:00 PM | 9:00 AM–12:00 PM |
| GMT → EST: Both inside 9 AM–5 PM London's afternoon is Toronto's morning. | |
| 1:00 PM–5:00 PM | 9:00 AM–1:00 PM |
| GMT → EDT: Both inside 9 AM–5 PM In the 4-hour weeks the shared window opens an hour earlier in London. | |
"Inside 9 AM–5 PM" is a planning assumption for a standard office day on each side, not a claim about any company's hours.
The Same Gap as London to New York
Toronto uses Eastern Time, the same zone as New York, so every London to Toronto conversion matches London to New York. Toronto's stock exchange (TSX) opens at 9:30 AM Eastern, the same time as the NYSE. That is 2:30 PM in London on the usual gap.
Going the other way, Toronto's 9:00 AM is 2:00 PM in London most weeks, and the first part of London's day, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, passes before Toronto has started.
A Weekly Interview Slot Across the Clock Changes
Imagine booking weekly interview slots from London at 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. For most of the year that's 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Toronto. In the weeks when the gap shrinks to four hours, the same London slot is 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Toronto, an hour later.
If Toronto picks the time instead, 10:00 AM in Toronto is 3:00 PM in London in most weeks and 2:00 PM in the 4-hour weeks. Check the date for each slot in a series, not just the first one.
