Description:
------------
The Europe/London offset seems to be wrong

Reproduce code:
---------------
$timezone = 7200;
$dst = true

foreach(timezone_abbreviations_list() as $tz => $reg) {
    foreach($reg as $tz) {
        if ($tz['offset'] === $timezone && $tz['dst'] === $dst) {
    return $tz['timezone_id'];
        }
    }
}

Expected result:
----------------
Europe/Paris timezone for example who is GMT+2 actually

Actual result:
--------------
Europe/London who is normally GMT+1 so it's the wrong timezone

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

This is perfectly all right. Europe/London used to be on UTC+2 during WW2:
