Answer
The UK is currently observing Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
That means the UK’s current UTC offset is UTC+0.
Why does the UK offset change?
The UK changes its UTC offset because it switches between two time standards: Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in winter (UTC+0) and British Summer Time (BST) in summer (UTC+1).
This switch happens when the clocks go forward in spring and go back in autumn. For the exact dates, see UK clock change dates.
