Do not ping London just because your afternoon is free. Sorry-culture is real: a 19:00 Slack gets a next-morning reply and a faint wince. Aim for their late morning in the City / Shoreditch, after the commute and before lunch thins the room. London still shifts with daylight saving (UTC+0 in January, UTC+1 in July). A calendar hold with both local times beats a surprise mention. On an ordinary weekday in London, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
