BST Clock Changing

I have a Pi running continuously but I noticed that the time has not gone forward by an hour overnight. I don't really want to stop the program that is running but is there something that I should have done to ensure it picks up BST time changes or does that only happen if the system is rebooted.

Check the TimeZone etcetera settings are correct under Internationalisation Options, changes will need a reboot...

I think it should have picked it up if the TZ was set correctly.
I checked my Pi and one of them was not correct. I'm fairly sure I did not change the TZ on that one.
I ran raspi-config and set it to Europe / London and it was changed without reboot.

@fruitoftheloom
Thank you. I have run that and set to Europe/London rebooted and it now shows correct time.
@DirkS
Thanks but I had to reboot mine to get it to show the correct time.
I will check my other 2 Pi's next time they are running.
