About Accra

Accra is the capital of Ghana and the country's main political and commercial centre, on the Gulf of Guinea coast. It is a regional hub for business, finance and diplomacy in West Africa, and is known for its music scene, markets, beaches and landmarks such as Independence Square.

Ghana uses Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0, all year with no daylight saving. This makes Accra one of the easiest cities to work with from the UK: it is exactly level with London in winter and one hour behind during British Summer Time. Ghana lies close to the Greenwich meridian, so its clock matches its geography well.
