Do you need an adaptor in England?

No, you don't need to use any adaptors if you already live in England! That's only joking! You are probably asking: "If you travel to England from somewhere else, would you need to use an outlet adaptor to run small electrical appliances?" Some small appliances, such as electric shavers, mobile phone chargers, etc., are marked to run on a wide range of voltages, say from 110 Volts to 240 volts, and on 50 Hz as well as 60 Hz.

So, as long as you know your electrical things, which you want to take with you to England, were made to run on 230 Volts, 50Hz AC (the UK's standard household power) as well as on whatever voltage and frequency you normally use at home, you should be ok. However, the UK has socket outlets which are different to most of the rest of the world. So if you live in Another Country you probably will need to buy an international travel adaptor. Most international airports have shops which sell them. For more information please click on the Related Questions shown below.
