The timezone specified (Europe/London) automatically changes between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for winter months, and British Summer Time (BST) for summer months. The dates of the switch are end-of-March and end-of-October. The --utc switch says your hardware clock will be set to and maintained as UTC, which is the same time as GMT.
