When do clocks change in the UK?

In the UK, clocks typically go back an hour at 2am on the final Sunday of October. This year, it's October 25th. This marks the end of British Summer Time and the return to Greenwich Mean Time. The change is automatic on most digital devices, but you'll need to manually adjust older clocks.
