SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for London to Delhi. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.

Depending on the date, Delhi (Asia/Kolkata) is 4 hours 30 minutes or 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of London (Europe/London), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
