As far as I understand it /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime has to be a copy  
of or link to your timezone-file (in your case  
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London).

That's how it works for me (on aranym). I seem to have had issues with  
tzinit too, and now it outputs some debue-messages:

#/c/mint/tzinit
tzinit: do_utc=0,do_local=0
tzset: name=Europe/Berlin
tzload: name=Europe/Berlin,TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo
tzload: access name=/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
tzload: open name=/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
tzload: nread=2789
localsub: timesub,tt_gmtoff=7200,tt_abbrind=0,chars='CEST'
tzset: name=Europe/Berlin
Current date and time: Sun Aug  5 21:02:26 2018
Time zone in use: CEST
East of Greenwich Mean Time: 2:00:00
Kernel clock mode: localtime


Don't know if I changed something else in tzinit.
Don't call tzinit -l - it sets a wrong time.

I also have

TZ=Europe/Berlin
TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo
TZDIST=2

in the environment, don't know if it's necessary.
