Just set it up to the on-load time in UTC. It's the BBC after all, put it in London time and say so somewhere in the footer.
But London time isn't UTC! We're BST at the moment, and GMT in the Winter.
But we could stay on UTC all year. Why force everyone to get up one hour earlier in summer? If people want to get up, they can do it themselves. Leave the rest of us in peace.
Even then, and with my pedant's hat on, GMT !== UTC - they can vary.
Goddamn adjustment milliseconds being all annoying.
Sadly, UK time is not UTC because of daylight savings. For example, right now UK time is one our ahead of UTC time.
