- 2 Add more cities if needed. If your team also has members in New York, Singapore, or Melbourne, click + Add timezone to include them in the comparison.
- 3 Pick the meeting date. Select the specific day you are planning for. The exact Sydney–London offset varies by date due to daylight saving transitions.

Sydney and London - the time gap explained
Sydney sits 10–11 hours ahead of London depending on the time of year. The gap narrows slightly when the UK moves to British Summer Time (BST) in spring, and widens when Australia ends daylight saving in autumn. During certain weeks in March and April, both countries are in transition simultaneously, which can make the offset temporarily different from what people expect.
The practical consequence is that there is only a short window - roughly 7 to 9 am in London - when Sydney is still within a reasonable evening hour (5–7 pm) and London is just starting its day. Outside that window, one side or the other is either too early or too late. The planner shows this visually so you can find it without any mental arithmetic.
