Hi

In your settings
Date and Time
is "automatic date and time" and "automatic time zone" ticked. If not do so and then remove and reinstate the time widget. It seems like your time widget knows its BST but your system time is set manually - maybe?
 
There isn't an automatic option anywhere, i don't understand why the London time zone is an hour ahead of the time in london anyway. It's really odd and really frustrating!
 
London is on British Summer Time at the moment (BST) , instead of Greenwich Mean Time (So its on GMT +1 )
 
Still struggling with this ridiculous but annoying problem.... When I click on it I go through to this screen and if I take the location for the weather bit off, the clock goes back to normal. It's not daylight saving as if anything surely it would be an hour behind...any other ideas?

Try going into your phone's Settings >> Application manager and tap on the Accuweather app. Tap the 'Force stop' button, then tap the 'Clear data' button. Now restart the app from your Apps menu and reconfigure it from scratch, hopefully that will match up the widget and phone time.
 
Per the above, there are two clocks, the main clock is working well because it automatically adjust daylight/standard time. The secondary clock is from that widget/app and that widget/app is inferior because it does not adjust for daylight/standard time automatically. So you need to go that app/widget as some have mentioned above, to adjust the clock to the actual time. This problem will reoccur every March/November when the time changes and you need to make that adjustment.
