Where are you going in America? We have a bunch of different time zones. The contiguous 48 have 4 (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific), plus you have to add in Alaska and Hawaii. If you also include Puerto Rico that's another. I think all together we span 8 time zones, so you need to let us know where you are heading.



As a basis, there is usually a 5 hour time difference between New York and London. Except right now it is 4 hours until you have your time change. We change our clocks earlier in the Spring and later in the Autumn.



Edit: @Pepper. I agree, but as an American I can tell you that most foreigners who travel to Hawaii and Alaska will refer to those two States by name whereas "America" is a generic travel term for the 48 States.

Depends where in the USA which is a big country and has several time zones. At present, the USA is on daylight saving time and we are still on GMT so the time difference ranges from the USA being 4 hours behind the UK, Eastern Standard Time to 7 hours, Pacific Standard Time. When we go on to summer time at the end of March the time difference will range from 5 to 8 hours,

The US has four time zones, not counting Alaska and Hawaii.

I am perplexed as to why somebody would answer by saying 'not counting Hawaii and Alaska'!! Are they not considered part of the USA, then? If that's the case, then you only have 48 states - change your flag!! EDIT - Emma -agreed, but the asker did not differentiate, so one would assume they wish to know the time difference for all zones of the USA.

Once you awaken in Denver experience awaits you and with hotelbye is the first step to this phenomenal adventure. In Denver you are able to explore the massive, fortress-like Denver Art Museum. This museum includes a substantial collection; variety which includes: American Indian, African, European, Asian, and Oceanic, Spanish colonial and pre-Columbian works. The remodelled American Indian galleries are specially amazing, covering a wide array of cultures and tribes from the United States and Canada. This considerable series has received a name all through North America, with pieces that amount 2,000 years of history. In this museum you can also find a separate gallery dedicated to photography. The Denver Art Museum has grabbed the interest with its distinctive design, influenced by the peaks of the Rugged Mountains.

There are two time zones in Europe and four in the USA. You must be more specific about what places your are comparing. Or you could simply Google for the time difference between your origin and destination.

It varies depending on where in the US you're going, and what time of year it is.



Normally the Eastern time zone is 5 hours earlier than the UK, so noon in London is 7 a.m. in New York.

Central time zone is 6 hours earlier than the UK, so noon in London is 6 a.m. in Chicago or Dallas.

Mountain time zone is 7 hours earlier than the UK, so noon in London is 5 a.m. in Denver

Pacific time zone is 8 hours earlier than the UK, so noon in London is 4 a.m. in Los Angeles.

Alaska time zone is 9 hours earlier than the UK, so noon in London is 3 a.m. in Anchorage.

Hawaii-Aleutian time zone is 10 hours earlier than the UK, so noon in London is 2 a.m. in Honolulu, except when London is on Summer Time, as Hawaii does not use daylight saving/summer time, so then it's 1 a.m. in Honolulu (though the Western Aleutian islands in Alaska do use DST).



However, between the second Sunday in March and the last Sunday in March, and between the last Sunday in October and the first Sunday in November the difference is generally one hour less, because North America starts Daylight Saving Time earlier, and ends it later, than Europe does Summer Time.



There are a few further complications, in that apart from Hawaii, Arizona (in the Mountain time zone) also does not observe DST, but the Navajo Nation, in north eastern Arizona, does observe DST; but the Hopi Nation, which is entirely surrounded by the Navajo Nation, does not observe DST.

If its 6pm in London then its I pm in New York and 9am in Los Angeles. So 5 hours behind for the east coast and 9 hours behind for the west coast. Thats the rough guide that most of us use,

Honolulu has it all. Learn this place with this specific hotelbye small help. Honolulu is the home of a number of Hawaii's many old places. From Iolani Palace, the Kawaiahao Church, the Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archive and the cherished artefacts of the Bishop Museum to legendary landmarks like the Aloha Tower, the King Kamehameha I Statue, the Duke Kahanamoku Statue and the historic Hawaii Theatre, Honolulu has, let me make it clear, plenty of intriguing places. Honolulu can also be the Hawaii's spot for arts, lifestyle and entertainment. Among the places you cannot miss from your holydays in Honolulu is Waikiki, the main beach destination of most persons going to Honolulu and the island of Oahu. That region is noted for its large crescent designed beach, where guests come to sit out in the sun, move, and figure out how to surf.
