Time difference between Madrid and London

London is 1 hour behind Madrid

Madrid, Spain is UTC+1 · London, the United Kingdom is UTC — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Madrid 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 1 hour 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.
