About converting PST to BST
Pacific Time (Los Angeles) and British Time (London) (London) are in different time zones, so a meeting, call or stream that's convenient in one may be early or late in the other. The clocks above update live and account for daylight saving automatically, so the time difference you see is the real one for today — not a fixed number that goes stale twice a year.
To plan across the two, type a time into the PST box (or tap a quick preset) and read the BST equivalent, including a "next day" or "previous day" note when the conversion crosses midnight. For any other pair of zones or cities, use the full timezone converter.
PST vs BST: the time difference through the year
The gap between PST and BST changes during the year because they switch to and from daylight saving on different dates.
