Live overlap for two cities.
Scheduling a meeting between Boston and London is manageable — the 9–5 windows overlap by 1–3 hours, usually morning for one side and afternoon for the other. Boston is 5 hours behind London during winter, though Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour in spring and autumn.
The visualization below shows the exact UTC overlap window plus each city's local working hours. We recommend the same time of day for recurring meetings to keep the routine predictable, and using the DST Checker once the dates are set so DST transitions don't silently shift your calls.

Both Boston and London observe DST, but they may change clocks on different dates. Your overlap will temporarily shift by an hour.
