Best times to propose
- 1. 3pm in Bangalore · 9am in London — Right at the edge of someone's day
- 2. 4pm in Bangalore · 10am in London — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 3. 5pm in Bangalore · 11am in London — Right at the edge of someone's day
Avoid 9am Bangalore time and 10am Bangalore time — inside working hours locally but outside them for the other city.
When the gap changes in the next twelve months
- Sunday, March 28, 2027 — London goes from 5 hours 30 minutes behind to 4 hours 30 minutes behind Bangalore.
- Sunday, October 31, 2027 — London goes from 4 hours 30 minutes behind to 5 hours 30 minutes behind Bangalore.
Recurring meetings set as a fixed clock time in one city will move by an hour for the other on these dates.
Public holidays to avoid
Dates where one side is off work while the other is not are the most common cause of no-shows on this route.
- Monday, November 30, 2026 — Saint Andrew's Day — London is off, Bangalore is working.
- Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day — London is off, Bangalore is working.
- Monday, December 28, 2026 — St. Stephen's Day — London is off, Bangalore is working.
With 3 shared working hours, Bangalore and London can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.
Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
