Sunday, October 26, 2025: The Clocks Go Back. Here’s How Dinez Taxis Ensures Punctual Airport Transfer Service for Farnborough, London and Heathrow Airport.
The clocks in the UK officially go back one hour at 2:00 AM on Sunday, October 26, 2025.
While most of the nation enjoys an "extra hour in bed," this twice-yearly event can introduce unnecessary stress and confusion for time-sensitive travel, particularly executive and airport transfers. At Dinez Taxis and Airport Transfers, your comfort and punctuality are guaranteed.

We don’t just monitor your flight; we monitor the clock change, so you don’t have to.
Our expert chauffeur service handles the transition seamlessly. With dedicated flight monitoring and direct communication, your executive driver is always aligned to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), ensuring you are picked up exactly when you expect to be. Say goodbye to clock change chaos and trust our award-winning service for your journey to or from Farnborough Airport, Heathrow, Gatwick, or any London destination.
Why the Clocks Change (The BST to GMT Shift)
The UK observes Daylight Saving Time (DST) to maximize daylight hours during the summer months. This system is governed by the simple rule: "Spring forward, Fall back."
Spring Forward: In March, the clocks move forward one hour, marking the start of British Summer Time (BST), which is GMT +1.
Fall Back: In October, the clocks move back one hour, reverting the country to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)—the standard time that we remain on throughout winter.
This tradition, which dates back over a century, means that on Sunday, October 26th, the time will instantly change from 02:00 BST back to 01:00 GMT.
The Travel Risk: Don't Let an Extra Hour Ruin Your Executive Airport Transfer
While modern smartphones adjust automatically, older manual clocks, hotel alarms, and even some in-car systems can fail to update, creating a significant point of confusion for travellers. The common pain point is simple: miscalculating a scheduled pick-up time. Whether you’re heading out for a business meeting or catching a crucial international flight, a missed or late airport transfer because of an incorrect clock setting is simply not an option.
