Time difference between Helsinki and London

London is 2 hours behind Helsinki

Helsinki, Finland is UTC+2 · London, the United Kingdom is UTC — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Helsinki goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and London goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October — so 2 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
