2 PM GMT to New York: what to know
For UK-based callers, 2 PM GMT / BST is one of the best slots to reach New York at the start of the working day (9 AM ET). London is in mid-afternoon and has time for follow-up work after the call. New York is fresh at the beginning of the day. This is one of the most common windows for UK–US East Coast recurring calls.
The US–UK gap is 5 hours in both winter (GMT/EST) and summer (BST/EDT), because both regions switch clocks on similar dates. For a visual overlap showing the full window for both cities, use the New York to London planner.
