I am trying to find the timestamp in R so I used the anytime function as follows: 

Timestamp = anytime::anytime(paste(Date, Time))

but then I realise that the timestamp has BST and GMT. How can I get my timestamp without GMT or BST?

Thank you!

The function anytime returns a POSIX time object that you can display in any desired format. To omit the timezone, you would simply leave it out in the format specification:

x = anytime::anytime(paste(Date, Time))
Timestamp = format( x, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" )

See ?format.POSIXct for more information.
