You are always in the same time zone but the zone time changes. BST and GMT are not time zones - time zones are (usually) named by geographic features like large cities and is Europe/London in your case - but zone times. Therefore when entering or leaving daylight saving time you remain in the same time zone but the zone time of your time zone changes.
