To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 8 hours 59 minutes long in London, and losing 3 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 11:44 am, 16 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and London sits 1 minutes of solar time west of UTC+0:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 8 hours 49 minutes in London: 16 hours 38 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 7 hours 50 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
