Time difference between Lagos and London

London is the same time as Lagos

Lagos, Nigeria is UTC+1 · London, the United Kingdom is UTC — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

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