Good to know about the time in the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time in winter (GMT) and British Summer Time in summer (UTC+1). It changes its clocks on the same dates as France, the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October: London is therefore 1 hour behind Paris all year round. France – United Kingdom time difference
The Greenwich meridian, adopted as the international reference in 1884, runs through east London. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is now the basis of every legal time, is its successor.
