London TimeTimes assume the exchanges’ regular sessions and are converted from exchange local time to London Time; holidays and early closes can remove the overlap on a given day.

|---|---|---|
| LSE | 08:00 | 16:30 |
| NYSE | 09:30 | 16:00 |
How the LSE–NYSE overlap is calculated
The overlap is the intersection of each exchange’s regular trading session after converting both to London Time. In this timezone, LSE runs 08:00–16:30 and NYSE runs 09:30–16:00, so both are open together from 14:30 to 16:30 — 2h of shared trading time.
Weekends are excluded, and any full-day holiday or early close on either side shrinks the window for that date. Use the two holiday calendars below before planning a session that relies on the overlap, and check the live open/closed status if you need the current figure rather than the scheduled one.
