Waking hours
We assume people are up from 7:00 to 22:00, and that 9:00 to 21:00 is a fair time for a call. Change it if they keep other hours.
About this pair
Lagos keeps one time all year. In the British summer, London and Lagos show the same time, and in winter Lagos is ahead.
With so little between you, an evening call after work in London is an evening call in Lagos too.
