Daylight saving time note
London and Bengaluru do not change their clocks on the same date. Between October 25, 2026 and March 28, 2027 the difference is 5 hours and 30 minutes behind Bengaluru — because London changes its clocks for daylight saving time while Bengaluru keeps the same time all year.
For the rest of the year the difference holds steady at 4 hours and 30 minutes. Every time on this page is computed from the IANA database at the moment you load it, so the tables above already account for whichever side has switched.
Why the time difference exists
London uses UTC as its standard offset and Bengaluru uses UTC+5:30. Only London shifts for daylight saving; Bengaluru stays put, which nudges the difference by an hour twice a year. Bengaluru sits roughly 8,000 km to the east of London.
Expect roughly a 6 hours forward adjustment travelling from London to Bengaluru. The direct distance works out to roughly 10 hours in the air. Line up a shared window before you call and the rest is easy.
