London and Shanghai Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between London and Shanghai takes a little planning. London is 7 hours behind Shanghai, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in London — around 7 pm — which puts Shanghai at 2 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
