How many hours ahead is Hong Kong of London?

Why do the times differ between Hong Kong and London?

Hong Kong (GMT+8) is 7 hours ahead of London, United Kingdom (GMT+1).

How is this conversion worked out?

London runs on Europe/London (GMT+1) and Hong Kong on Asia/Hong_Kong (GMT+8), a difference of 7 hours this week. The peak hours themselves are measured in London local time, and that figure never moves. What moves is the reading on your own clock, twice a year, when either place changes for daylight saving. The two places do not always change on the same date, so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the difference is an hour off its usual value; that is why these pages are rebuilt every week rather than computed once.

Does any platform peak on a different day in Hong Kong?

TikTok peaks on a different calendar day in Hong Kong than in London, so scheduling by day name alone will miss it. Converted times use the offsets in force this week (GMT+8 and GMT+1). The audience-clock column never changes; the converted column is rebuilt weekly so it stays right across daylight-saving changes. The same times apply across London's timezone, including Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.
