Yep, that would be what I understand as "clock format". So go up to
the panel which displays your clock, alt-click it, and select
properties. Under "Clock Options", you'll see "Format" set to "Custom
Format". Underneath that there's a text-box. The US will have it set
to "%a, %d %b  %H:%M". But since you're in the UK, you'll want to
switch up the day and month (%d and %b): like so "%a, %b %d  %H:%M".
For more flag parameters, open up terminal and enter "date --help".
