This is especially useful when sending a confirmed slot to a distributed team, because the exported event will appear in each participant’s local time rather than forcing everyone to calculate the Gosport offset manually.
About Gosport Time Zone
Gosport uses the Europe/London IANA time zone, the same zone used across most of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Its standard time is UTC+0, known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and during daylight saving time it changes to UTC+1, known as British Summer Time (BST). Because Gosport is in Hampshire on England’s south coast, it follows the same clock changes as nearby cities such as Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, and London.
Daylight saving time in Gosport begins on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October. In 2025, clocks go forward on 30 March 2025 and go back on 26 October 2025. This seasonal shift affects international scheduling significantly: a meeting with New York is usually 5 hours apart in winter, but only 4 hours apart for part of the spring and autumn because the US and UK switch daylight saving on different dates.
Gosport does not have a separate regional time zone from the rest of southern England, so there is no time difference between Gosport and London at any point in the year. Compared with neighboring European zones, Gosport is typically 1 hour behind Central European Time cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin during standard time, and it remains 1 hour behind them during summer because both regions move clocks forward seasonally.
