Best time for a meeting between London and Tokyo
Tokyo is currently 8 hours ahead of London. Right now it's 12:39 AM in London and 8:39 AM in Tokyo. With standard 9-to-5 working days, the two cities have no overlapping working hours, so someone will need to flex — the fairest option is to split the difference.
Fair compromise slot
8:30 AM in London = 4:30 PM in Tokyo
This lands just outside 9-to-5 for both cities and shares the inconvenience evenly. Rotate who takes the early or late slot to keep it fair.
