Best times to propose
- 1. 3pm in London · 9am in Mexico City — Right at the edge of someone's day
- 2. 4pm in London · 10am in Mexico City — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 3. 5pm in London · 11am in Mexico City — Right at the edge of someone's day
Avoid 9am London time and 10am London time — inside working hours locally but outside them for the other city.

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 16, 2026 — Revolution Day — Mexico City is off, London is working.
- Monday, November 30, 2026 — Saint Andrew's Day — London is off, Mexico City is working.
- Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day and Christmas Day; both cities are off.
- Monday, December 28, 2026 — St. Stephen's Day — London is off, Mexico City is working.
With 3 shared working hours, London and Mexico City 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.
