What is BST in NZST?
New Zealand Time is 11 hours ahead
British Time is on UTC+1:00 and New Zealand Time is on UTC+12:00 right now. British Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read BST. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes
British Time and New Zealand Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:
- Now – September 26, 2026New Zealand Time is 11 hours ahead
- September 26, 2026 – October 25, 2026New Zealand Time is 12 hours ahead
- October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027New Zealand Time is 13 hours ahead
- March 28, 2027 – April 3, 2027New Zealand Time is 12 hours ahead
- April 3, 2027 – September 25, 2027New Zealand Time is 11 hours ahead
- September 25, 2027 – onwardsNew Zealand Time is 12 hours ahead
Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in London and one in Auckland — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in London is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Auckland.
A note on BST: it can also mean Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). This page means British Summer Time.
British Time (BST) is used in the whole United Kingdom. In winter the UK is on GMT; from late March to late October it is on BST, an hour ahead.
