About Jersey's time
A single time zone.

Things about Jersey's time.
Even though Jersey is a self-governing Crown Dependency and not part of the UK, it keeps exactly the same time as London, including the same clock-change dates. This makes sense given Jersey's deep economic and cultural ties to Britain, and it keeps business, travel, and communication between the island and the mainland running smoothly. Unlike France — about 14 miles to the east — Jersey doesn't follow Central European Time, and its clocks change on the same schedule as the UK's Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and British Summer Time (BST).
