About GMT — Greenwich Mean Time

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the time standard at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. GMT is UTC+0—the zero baseline from which all other timezones are measured. GMT was established at the International Meridian Conference in 1884.

The United Kingdom uses GMT in winter (late October to late March) and switches to British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer. GMT and UTC are often used interchangeably, though they differ slightly: UTC is an atomic time standard, while GMT is an astronomical time standard.

Major cities in the GMT timezone:
