As autumn deepens and the evenings grow darker, people across the UK are preparing to turn their clocks back by one hour, marking the end of British Summer Time (BST) and the start of winter. The change brings earlier sunsets, colder days and a shift in the nation's daily rhythm.
At 2am on Sunday, 26 October 2025, the clocks will move back one hour, returning the country to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The adjustment may seem small, but it influences sleep, mood, safety and even spending habits.
