If you are scheduling a call, the "best overlap" strip highlights the hours when both Tokyo and London are within normal working hours (9 AM to 5 PM), which is the simplest way to pick a slot that is reasonable for everyone rather than doing the arithmetic in your head.
Do Tokyo and London observe daylight saving time?
