BST to EST Time Converter
About this conversion
BST is British Summer Time (UTC+1). Because BST only runs from March to October, when the US east coast is mostly on EDT, a real UK-US conversion in summer uses BST and EDT, which are five hours apart. This page compares fixed BST with fixed EST.
When the time difference changes
Both sides keep a fixed offset, so the gap does not change in the next two years.
