Where would you expect to find it in a geographically arranged catalog? The only answer is the prime meridian, the same page London would be on.
An alternative is not to have the catalog 100% geographically-arranged, and offer UTC as an alternative to the geographical locations.
This is, for example, how time zone selection is done currently on Debian. You can choose "None of the above" at the top level continent menu, and then UTC is one of the entries along with various similar specific-offset zones. I think a good argument could be made for having UTC as a top-level selection, but it's already (correctly) not associated with any specific geography. -- Russ Allbery (eagle@eyrie.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
