The DateTime class has a function SetTimezone (docks)

I.e. you will have something like this:

$date = new DateTime('2015-09-14 10:29:01', new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . '<br>';

$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/Moscow'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP');

Will output

2015-09-14 10:29:01+01:00
2015-09-14 13:29:01+04:00
