Try this:

$dt = new \DateTime('2015-10-28 19:18:44', new \DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));
dd($dt->format('c')); // string '2015-10-28T19:18:44+00:00' (length=25)

Alternatively take a look at Carbon

You can use Laravel's accessors to get "reformatted" created_at.

public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value)
{
    //Since Laravel uses Carbon you can do.
    return $value->format('c');
}

This way anytime you do something like $model->created_at it will return modified created_at.

If you want to change datetime format for created_at in your database as well, you can use mutators.

More information you can find on the Laravel's docs page.
