Since you edited the question, I'll edit my answer :) Django cannot control the time zone of your db, so the way to fix this is to update the time zone for your db. For MySql, run this query:

This should return SYSTEM, SYSTEM by default, which in your case means "Europe/London", and the cause of your problem. Now that you've verified this, follow the instructions in the first comment on this page:

Remember to restart MySql server after you've updated the time zone for the changes to take effect.
