Timezones in United Kingdom
The United Kingdom uses a single civil timezone, Europe/London, across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. In winter the clocks follow Greenwich Mean Time. From late March to late October they switch to British Summer Time. The pages for London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Belfast all read that same IANA zone, so differences you see against New York or Sydney come from those cities—not from regional UK offsets.
