How to change the date of Linux to UTC/GMT +1?

The normal way is to set your timezone. There are a bunch of files stored by region in the following directory:
/usr/share/zoneinfo
Take a look and find the one which matches your region. Then you have to create a symlink from /etc/localtime
:
sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime

I need to change the date of my system. I'm running a Linux CentOS 5.6.
# date +%Z UTC # date Thu Oct 6 11:42:45 UTC 2011
How do I change the hour to be UTC/GMT +1?
