Check that /etc/localtime exists and is the same as the London timezone 
file:

$ diff /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London

should produce no output.

Also check that you do not have a TZ variable set as that will affect 
what date shows you.

I've never had to do anything login class related to make this work.
