Technically, time zones exactly on "the north pole" would come to one point. At the equator, time zones are approximately 15 degrees apart (or 111 km), and then continue to follow the longitude lines of the Earth north and south until they all converge at one point at the poles.

At the exact North and South Poles, all time zones converge, so it is always noon and midnight and every time in between. If you move about 23-24 feet from the pole and walk straight east or west, you would cross one time zone with each step.

London lies at around 51 degrees, 30 minutes, and the distance around the earth from north to south and back again is around 24,859.82 km, which means that London is around 3,556.3 km from the north pole.

Whatever time you would like it to be.

Let me explain, as all lines of longitude converge at both the North and South Poles, there are no times zones there. Technically, a day at either Pole could be said to last a year.

Most explorers or scientists use either the time from the place they set out from, or the time of their own country. The Amundsen-Scott base at the South Pole uses New Zealand Time.

Since there is no standard time established for anywhere on earth south of 60 degrees S, the 'time' depends on who you are and why you need to know.

For example, if you are a working temporarily at the South Pole, or temporarily as a scientist collecting data on the health of planet earth at that location, the time established by the support group in the United States. Why? The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is supported by the United States.

On the other hand, if you are an explorer and want to be able to use the sky for navigation, you'll need to know the 'sun time'. Sun time is based on it being noon when the sun crosses the stellar meridian. It may be different from the 'time' posted on clocks inside the research facility.

The difference of the time zones between North America And London depends on which time zone in North America your in, Pacific: 8 hours difference between North America and London, Mountain: 7 hours difference between North America and London, Central: 6 hours difference between North America and London, Eastern: 5 hours difference between North America and London

There is no time zone at the North Pole, since all longitude lines converge there. Most Researchers/Explorers use the time from where they set out from.

So there can not be any time difference. The North and South Poles are the only places on Earth where a day can last a year.

There is no time difference. Time Zones are not much of an issue at the poles where the days and nights are 6 months long. Most stations adopt the time of their respective supply stations.
