Time difference from the UK
Singapore uses Singapore Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and never changes its clocks. Singapore is 7 hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time, and 8 hours ahead during GMT (winter).
When it is 3pm in the UK, it is normally 10pm in Singapore.
Best time to call
Early morning UK time (around 7am-9am) usually falls in Singapore's early-to-mid afternoon, which is often the most workable overlap for calls between the two.
Good to know
- Singapore has kept the same UTC+8 offset since 1982, so its clocks are always predictable.
- Because Singapore does not change its clocks, the UK-Singapore gap is entirely driven by the UK's own GMT/BST switch.
