Time difference between Dhaka and London

London is 5 hours behind Dhaka

Dhaka, Bangladesh is UTC+6 · London, the United Kingdom is UTC — on standard time

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Dhaka does not change its clocks and London goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
