Get time of specific timezone [duplicate]

Question

I am using a JavaScript Date class & trying to get the current date using getDate() method. But obviously it is loading system date & time. I am running the code from India but I want to get the date & time of UK using the same method. How can I do that ?

If you know the UTC offset then you can pass it and get the time using the following function:

function calcTime(city, offset) {     // create Date object for current location     var d = new Date();      // convert to msec     // subtract local time zone offset     // get UTC time in msec     var utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);      // create new Date object for different city     // using supplied offset     var nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));      // return time as a string     return "The local time for city"+ city +" is "+ nd.toLocaleString(); }  alert(calcTime('Bombay', '+5.5'));
