Try this:

Before Python 3.6 you can use pytz (external package)

from datetime import datetime
from pytz import timezone    

print(datetime.now(timezone('Europe/London')))

Update according @WolfgangKuehn comment

Starting from Python 3.6 you can use zoneinfo via standard library (>=3.9) or backport instead of pytz

from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

print(datetime.now(ZoneInfo('Europe/London')))
