About the time in Hackney
Hackney is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +1 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Hackney follows the civil time used across its region of United Kingdom; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier Europe/London is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/London keeps pointing at London time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
