Lagos uses West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) year-round. Nigeria and most of West Africa do not observe Daylight Saving Time. The UTC+1 offset matches Central European standard time (CET) in winter — though Europe moves to CEST in summer, WAT stays fixed.
London uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer. The UK clocks go forward one hour on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October. GMT takes its name from the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, east London — the historical origin of UTC-based world time.
Both Lagos and London may observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between them can change twice a year. Here is what to expect each season.
| Period | Note | Lagos | London | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Mar | Both on standard time | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | GMT (UTC+0) | 1 hour |
| Mar – late Mar | US clocks forward, some zones still on standard | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | GMT (UTC+0) | 1 hour |
| Late Mar – Oct current | Both on summer / daylight time | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | 0 hours |
| Late Oct – early Nov | Clocks transitioning — check exact date | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | GMT (UTC+0) | 1 hour |
The transition window typically lasts 1–2 weeks in spring and autumn. If you have a recurring weekly meeting near a clock change, verify the exact date to avoid a missed call.
Lagos and London are currently at the same UTC offset — there is no time difference between them right now.
The best overlap window is 9:00 am–6:00 pm Lagos time, which corresponds to 9:00 am–6:00 pm London time. Both cities are within standard business hours (9 am–6 pm) during this window.
When it is 9:00 AM in Lagos, it is 9:00 am in London. Lagos is 0 hours at the same offset as London.
When it is 5:00 PM in London, it is 5:00 pm in Lagos.
London observes Daylight Saving Time but Lagos does not. This means the offset between the two cities changes by one hour when London transitions its clocks. Always verify the current offset when scheduling meetings near DST transition dates.
