I think that being on the western end of Europe, those countries decided to adopt a more pan-European time zone, even if that does not match precisely their astronomical hour. That makes cross border businesses easier by having common working hours.UK's timezone is GMT (+0000) while most other western Europeancountries like Spain, France, Germany, etc are in GMT +1000.
