Moscow is four hours ahead of GMT.

No, just plus three!!!

Лондон = +1 час к GMT
Москва = Лондон + 3 = GMT + 1 + 3 = 4

GMT -Greenwich Mean Time, т.е. время по гринвичскому меридиану, который проходит через Лондон!!! (см. карту) Следовательно GMT у Лондона = +00
GMT у Москвы, Петербурга, Волгограда = +03

Англичане тоже переходят на летнее время.
Поэтому летом время в Лондоне GMT+1
(Лондонское время сейчас <> GMT)

London is only on GMT + 0 from October - March
From March - October it is GMT + 1 (British Summer Time, BST)

Basically GMT never changes. Most countries adjust their clocks for daylight savings times, so the time in relation to GMT changes throughout the year.

E.g. Standard Moscow time is GMT+3, but Moscow Summer time is GMT+4.

The fact that the Greenwich meridian line passes through London isn't really relevant. Most of Spain is to the LEFT of the line, e.g. behind Greenwich mean time, but Spanish time is actually GMT +1, and now GMT +2 in the summer. Your time zone has a lot to do with politics.

Countries have mostly syncronised their daylight savings times so most do it on the same day, therefore the relation between countries is always the same. (e,g, Moscow is always 3 hours ahead of London).

By the way
There is a game in the theme "Book Reviews" called "Never-ending Thread" («Бесконечная нитка»). Briefly: we write a story, each other write 1 sentence so the story became longer and longer endlessly.

The rules:
1. everyone writes by ONE sentance in their turn (only in Russian/only in English respectevelly)
2. you can not write your sentance until TWO sentances appiered after yours.
3. the plot is only a matter of our fantasy and sense of word - you can turn the action wherever your mind could wish but you should make your efforts to not write nonsense and make the story look interesting and fun.
4. You can neither write the end nor finish the story.
5. Start your post pasting the previous story and then add your phrase.

Please join us in this game
