BST to PST: convert British Time to Pacific Time

PST is 8 hours behind BST all year.

Both clocks change for daylight saving on similar schedules, so the gap between them does not move.

The United Kingdom uses GMT in winter and BST (British Summer Time) in summer. BST also abbreviates Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6).

PST also abbreviates Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8). These pages use the North American meaning.

Scheduling a call between BST and PST

Standard business hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) do not overlap: daytime in British Time falls outside the working day in Pacific Time, so one side needs an early morning or late evening.
