GMT → CET Converter
London to continental Europe — the intra-European business pair. Despite Britain's 2021 exit from the EU, the London-Frankfurt-Amsterdam-Paris corridor remains the world's densest financial and trade relationship. GMT and CET are synchronized (both on EU DST rules), so the 1-hour gap is constant.

How Time Zone Conversion Works
Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.
CET is 1 hour ahead of GMT (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: Both GMT and CET observe Daylight Saving Time on the same schedule. The 1-hour difference is constant all year — there are no weeks where the gap shifts.
