Melbourne follows the same schedule as Sydney — AEST (UTC+10) in winter and AEDT (UTC+11) in summer, with Southern Hemisphere transitions in October and April. Melbourne's ASX (Australian Securities Exchange) operates on AEST/AEDT, making it a key financial timezone for the Asia-Pacific region.
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 Melbourne 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 | Melbourne | London | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Mar | Both on standard time | GMT+11 (UTC+11) | GMT (UTC+0) | 11 hours |
| Mar – late Mar | US clocks forward, some zones still on standard | GMT+11 (UTC+11) | GMT (UTC+0) | 11 hours |
| Late Mar – Oct current | Both on summer / daylight time | GMT+10 (UTC+10) | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | 9 hours |
| Late Oct – early Nov | Clocks transitioning — check exact date | GMT+11 (UTC+11) | GMT (UTC+0) | 11 hours |
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.
