About time in London
London sits on the prime meridian, so in winter its local time is UTC itself — the baseline every other offset is measured against. In summer it moves an hour ahead to British Summer Time, which means "GMT" and "London time" are the same thing for only about five months of the year. The UK switches on the last Sunday in March and October, in step with the EU.
