Best time to schedule a call or meeting
The comfortable window — when both cities are inside normal 9-to-5 hours — runs from about 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM in London time, roughly 6 hours. Schedule calls inside that band and neither side is working unsocial hours.
A note on daylight saving
London observes daylight saving but Moscow does not, so the gap between them changes by an hour for part of the year. The 2 hours shown here is the current offset; expect it to shift around the daylight-saving changeovers (typically late March and late October in the Northern Hemisphere).
