Standard Time: Both the UK and Germany observe the same standard time zone during the winter months. This means they are both on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) + 0 (also known as Greenwich Mean Time or GMT).

Daylight Saving Time (DST): Things change slightly during the summer months. The UK switches to British Summer Time (BST), which is UTC + 1. However, Germany also observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is also UTC + 1.

Therefore, in most cases, there is no time difference between the UK and Germany.
