UK-Tuned Adjustment Tips From pub-garden walks to tea-time delays, our guidance fits London’s daily rhythms.

Delay Your Morning Tea
Hold off your first cup until 9 AM BST to help shift your internal clock forward.
Take a Pub-Garden Stroll
Enjoy a morning walk in a garden pub at 8 AM BST to anchor your wake-time to the sun.
Adjust Evening Routines
Push back dinner and winding-down activities by 15 minutes on the week before change.
Sync Watches Manually
At 2 AM on change day, manually move your clocks forward/back to avoid glitches.

UK DST always begins on the last Sunday in March for consistency—Sunday mornings minimize business disruption.

Most smart devices update automatically; analog clocks and watches must be adjusted manually at 1 AM GMT.

If you cross the 2 AM shift point in flight, reset to local London time on arrival and follow our tips.
