With a 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM workday on both sides:

• 1 hour apart (GMT with CET, BST with CEST): 7 hours of shared office time: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in London is 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Paris. The latest start for a one-hour meeting is 3:00 PM in London, 4:00 PM in Paris.

The workweek in London and Paris

The first office hour of the week belongs to Paris: Monday at 9:00 AM there is Monday at 8:00 AM in London. The last belongs to London, whose Friday 5:00 PM is Friday 6:00 PM in Paris. That leaves 35 hours of shared office time per week, spread over all 5 weekdays.

For 1 hour of every 24, Paris is already on the next date: from 11:00 PM to midnight in London, the Paris calendar shows tomorrow.
