How far apart are London and Toronto?
Toronto (Canada) runs 5 hours behind London (United Kingdom). In practical terms, the working day in Toronto starts while London is already well into the afternoon or evening, which is what makes scheduling between the two take a little planning.
Best time to schedule a call or meeting
The comfortable window — when both cities are inside normal 9-to-5 hours — runs from about 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in London time, roughly 3 hours. Schedule calls inside that band and neither side is working unsocial hours.
A note on daylight saving
Both London and Toronto observe daylight saving in the same direction, so the difference is normally the same in summer and winter. They change their clocks on slightly different dates, though, so for a week or two each spring and autumn the gap can be an hour off — worth double-checking around those changeovers.
