Does the UK use the same adapter as Europe?

All of Europe operates on the same 2 round pronged outlets except for the UK and Ireland that operates on its own unique 3 flat rectangle pronged outlets. If you are travelling through the UK or Ireland (including London) you will need a UK and Ireland power point adapter.

European Voltage is usually 220, and the US is 110. So things without a transformer need a converter. You DO need an adapter to plug things in (unless the hotel has some universal plugs, which the Park Hyatt does, I believe have). DO NOT EXPECT YOUR HAIRDRYER, CURLING IRONS or other devices to work in Europe.

The Type G plug has three rectangular pins in a triangular pattern and includes a fuse (usually a 3A fuse for smaller appliances, such as computers, or a 13A fuse for larger appliances, such as heaters). British sockets also have shutters on the live and neutral contacts to prevent the introduction of foreign objects.
