From the end of October until the last Sunday in March, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and Lanzarote is on Western European Time (WET). They’re the same time. Zero difference. It’s like the universe decided to give us a break. If it’s 11:00 a.m. in London, it’s 11:00 a.m. in Playa Blanca. You can text your mum, “See you at sunset,” and she’ll know exactly when to put the kettle on. It’s a beautiful, simple arrangement—like when the coffee machine works on the first try.
This is the golden period for lazy holiday planning. You don’t need to do complex mental maths while clutching a sangria. Your flight departs at 7:00 a.m. from Gatwick? You land at exactly 11:00 a.m. local time. No jet lag, no grumpy confusion. Just a seamless, blissful transfer from drizzle to sunshine. Honestly, it’s the closest most of us will get to time travel without a DeLorean.
