You need to get the UTC time and then convert it to the desired time zone. Take a look at the .NET globalization features. This link should get you started:
MSDN: Converting Times Between Time Zones[^]

UK time is not always UTC; right now it's DST there, so it's UTC+1.

Correct, but if you get UTC time, you can convert it UK time very easily using the libraries.

You don't even need the UTC time, you can convert the local time to UK time directly. Please see Solution 2.

You can use TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId:

C#

DateTime ukTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(DateTime.Now, "GMT Standard Time");
