Vancouver is typically 8 hours behind London. When it's 5:00 PM in London, it's 9:00 AM in Vancouver. Both cities observe daylight saving time, though the transition dates differ slightly.
During the brief periods when Canada and UK change clocks on different weekends (usually in March and November), the difference can temporarily be 7 or 9 hours. For most of the year, it's a consistent 8-hour difference.
Optimal meeting window: 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM Vancouver time (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM London). This catches afternoon business hours in London while being early morning in Vancouver.
Vancouver's film industry (Hollywood North) and mining sector frequently coordinate with UK companies during these hours.
