is there any way how to get London time in javascript no matter of local timezone offset? Futhermore I need to be able to work with a result in same way as Date() object.

I am able to get London time as a string with moment/moment-timezone (e.g. "2018-01-26T17:59:00Z"). Putting result to new Date() function leads to having a local time:

new Date(moment().tz('Europe/London').format())
// results getting my local time, instead I need to get London time

`Date` isn't local time, it's *represented* as local when you output it. – tadman Jan 26 '18 at 18:01
What is so "bad" about the moment version (`moment().tz('Europe/London')`) ? – Andreas Jan 26 '18 at 18:05
@Andreas because it return string, I need to be able to get day, hours and minutes from it, same as with Date() object. String is useless for me. – exoslav Jan 26 '18 at 18:06
Then just remove `.format()` O.o – Andreas Jan 26 '18 at 18:07
See dup marked, and also [this dup](https://stackoverflow.com/a/33579806/634824). – Matt Johnson-Pint Jan 26 '18 at 18:09
As far as getting day, hours, minutes, etc. - then don't call `.format()`, but call the relevant functions on the moment object. – Matt Johnson-Pint Jan 26 '18 at 18:10
(Oh, and not super important, but it's more "correct" to use `moment.tz(...)` rather than `moment().tz(...)` for this use case.) – Matt Johnson-Pint Jan 26 '18 at 18:11
