Setting timezone on ubuntu server

timezoneubuntu-12.04

I just have set my timezone on my ubuntu server like this:

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Through a GUI I selected then Europe and London.

Then it said:

Current default time zone: 'Europe/London'
Local time is now:      Fri Aug 17 19:28:50 BST 2012.
Universal Time is now:  Fri Aug 17 18:28:50 UTC 2012.

I always thought since London time is Greenwich time, the universal time should be the same as local time, isn't that right?

Best Answer

BST = British Summer Time = UTC/GMT + 1 hour
