Clocks go back this Sunday 2021
When do the clocks change?
The clocks go back 31 October
In the UK, the clocks will go back on Sunday 31 October 2021 from 2am and we will revert back to GMT or Greenwich Mean Time. This always takes place at the last Sunday in October each year. We ‘gain’ an hour of sleep when this happens, which means it’s not as dark when we wake up.
| Year | Clocks go forward | Clocks go back |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 29 March | 25 October |
| 2021 | 28 March | 31 October |
| 2022 | 27 March | 30 October |
