How it is calculated
The Los Angeles time (IANA America/Los_Angeles) becomes UTC by subtracting its offset on that date, then the London offset (Europe/London) at the same instant is added: London time = Los Angeles time - Los Angeles UTC offset + London UTC offset.
Example
Inputs: Date in Los Angeles = 2026-07-15, Time in Los Angeles = 09:00. Result: Time in London: 17:00 Wednesday; Date in London: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 (2026-07-15); London vs Los Angeles: +8 hours.
Limits and caveats
- DST dates come from the device time-zone database, so a country rule change that your device has not received yet can shift the result.
- On a clock-change night in Los Angeles, a skipped or repeated local hour (such as 02:30 or 01:30) is read with one of the two offsets.

It is 17:00 in London for most of the year, and 16:00 in the weeks when the gap is 7 hours.

From 16:00 in Los Angeles for most of the year, and from 17:00 when the gap is 7 hours, it is already the next day in London.
