Working across London and Johannesburg

London's finance and professional services and Johannesburg's mining and banking are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. Johannesburg runs 2 hours ahead of London.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–17:30 in London and 08:00–17:00 in Johannesburg. Watch for Christmas Day and Boxing Day (25–26 December) and Easter Monday (March or April) in London and Heritage Day (24 September) and Freedom Day (27 April) in Johannesburg. Replies slow in London during the week between Christmas and New Year and in Johannesburg during mid-December to mid-January.

The comfortable window is 09:00–15:00 London time, which is 11:00–17:00 in Johannesburg — 6 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Only London changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Johannesburg stays put.
