Scheduling Between Europe and Asia-Pacific
European and APAC teams face a significant but navigable gap. London↔Singapore is 8 hours; London↔Tokyo is 9 hours. Early European mornings and late APAC afternoons are the key.
Scheduling Tips
London (GMT) and Singapore (SGT, UTC+8) are 8 hours apart — 9 am London = 5 pm Singapore. A narrow overlap window exists 9 am–noon GMT.
Berlin (CET, UTC+1) and Singapore are 7 hours apart in winter — 9 am CET = 4 pm SGT. Slightly easier.
Tokyo (JST, UTC+9) and London are 9 hours apart — the overlap window is even narrower: 8–10 am GMT = 5–7 pm JST.
Sydney (AEST, UTC+10) and London are 10–11 hours apart. 7–8 am GMT = 5–6 pm AEST is the only workable slot.
None of the APAC cities observe DST, but Europe does — the gap narrows by 1 hour during European summer time.
For regular syncs, alternating early-morning Europe and late-afternoon APAC is the most respectful of both sides.
