How the BST to GMT time difference works
GMT is 1 hour behind BST. British Summer Time (BST) is the spring-to-autumn daylight time of the United Kingdom, fixed at one hour ahead of GMT.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the fixed UTC+0 reference time, used by the United Kingdom and Ireland in winter.
For example, 9:00 AM BST is 8:00 AM GMT.
