" For the great revolution of Mr. Willett's summer time had taken place since Peter Walsh's last visit to England" (Woolf, 161-162).
This is an allusion to the beginning of Daylight Savings Time in England. Willett was the first one to come up with the idea of Daylight Savings Time, right before Peter Walsh returned to England. Peter is wondering around London and realizing how much he has missed while he was in India. (Edit) This is also another way Woolf showed that time was an important element of this novel.
