My Mac automatically picks up the wrong time zone

I am in London, but my Mac picks up CEST as my time zone (I was in Berlin last week).


I am connected to the internet and my location in London is picked up properly. I am not sure where to look to get this to update properly.


I do not want to set it manually, as I travel a lot for work and it is a lot more convenient to have this set automatically.

A couple things to try:

1) if you have a VPN that could have an impact - maybe turn it off.

2) if you have a wired network connection but wifi is off - you might turn it on as I believe the system uses that to geolocate.

3) you could try deleting Date/Time preferences and restarting.
