How to set Timezone in Django?

My timezone is UTC+1. So in settings.py file I configured: 

TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/London'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True

In models.py I have an attribute: 

class myModel(models.Model):
timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

When I post some information to this model via Django Rest Framework web interface, the timestamp sets to UTC automatically (which one hour back from my current time zone). But in SQL timestamp is stored with UTC+1 timezone. Very strange behaviour.

How to fix it?

It is very weird, because when I post a data timestamp in SQL is set to UTC+1, but Django Rest Framework shows in UTC. Maybe, Kenneth Love could help me?
