The Earth rotates 360° of longitude in 24 hours. This means that for 1 degree change in longitude, the corresponding change in time is 4 minutes. Thus, a place that is 1° to the east of another place is ahead by 4 minutes.

It takes 4 minutes to travel from one longitude to another. So, generally 1 degree difference in Longitude, causes a difference of 4 minutes. The places located in the East of the Prime Meridian are ahead in time to the places located in the Western Hemisphere.
