About Accra's time zone

Accra follows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) year-round with no daylight saving time — one of only a handful of cities to remain on UTC+0 permanently. Ghana is geographically located almost exactly on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and on the equator (0° latitude), making Accra one of the few major cities in the world sitting at the intersection of these two geographic zeros. Accra shares the same time as London in winter but is 1 hour behind when the UK observes BST.

Did you know? Accra sits at approximately 0°N, 0°E — the geographic origin point of our coordinate system. There's a location in the Gulf of Guinea, just south of Ghana's coast, that is exactly at 0°, 0° — a point called 'Null Island' by GIS professionals. It's technically in international waters, but the closest significant land is Ghana, making Accra the nearest major city to the literal center of our global coordinate grid.
