London's clocks go back an hour today as British Summer Time ends
British Summer Time ends at 2 a.m. on October 25, with clocks going back to 1 a.m. GMT; the U.S. does not change until November 1, so the London–Toronto gap is four hours for the coming week.
Why it matters
Londoners get an extra hour in bed today: British Summer Time ends in the early hours of Sunday, October 25, as clocks go back one hour to Greenwich Mean Time. Anyone travelling overnight, catching a flight or train, or calling family abroad should double-check the new time difference.
Full report
Under the U.K. government's guidance, British Summer Time ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 25, when clocks go back to 1:00 a.m. and the U.K. returns to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). That means the 1:00 a.m. hour happens twice; most phones and computers adjust automatically, while traditional clocks need to be set back by hand.
Most of continental Europe also ends daylight saving at 1:00 a.m. UTC the same day, but the United States does not turn its clocks back until November 1 — so for the coming week the U.K.–North America time gap temporarily shrinks by one hour: London to Toronto goes from five hours to four until November 1. The U.K. next moves its clocks forward on March 28, 2027.
Practical note: overnight buses, night flights and bookings that span the change should be checked against the new time, and the time difference to places that do not observe daylight saving, such as India, shifts by one hour as well.
