You can use PHP's DateTime class, which does a wonderful job of handling date/times and timezones. Here's an example of what you want.

/* Create a DateTime object using Europe/London Timezone */
$date = new DateTime("2012-12-10 12:00", new DateTimeZone("Europe/London"));
echo $date->format('r'); // Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:00:00 +0000

/* Change the timezone to Europe/Amsterdam and output the new formatted date/time */
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("Europe/Amsterdam"));
echo $date->format('r'); // Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:00:00 +0100
