Do I need a plug adaptor?
It can often be confusing when you visit a new country because of the different utility systems and measurements. Knowing which type of plug you need for your hairdryer, or whether you can drink the water, for example, are things we all need to know before we travel.
We've highlighted a few of the things that are good to know before you get here.
英国标准电压是240伏，50赫兹。 Most power sockets are designed for standard 3-pin square plugs. Electrical appliances in Britain generally use the British standard plug with 3 square pins. Plug socket adaptors and power transformers are widely available, you can buy them at most airports, electrical shops and hardware stores.
英国自来水的水质非常高。 自来水都可直接饮用，厨房也不例外。 瓶装水可以在商店和超市买到。
Gas is often used in homes for cooking, central heating and to heat water. Some cookers may use both gas and electricity, for example they may use gas for the hob and electricity for the oven.
Most cars in Britain run off petrol, but there are also a large number of cars and lorries that run off diesel. Petrol is usually sold as either Four Star (usually a red pump), or Unleaded (usually a green pump); both types are available for most petrol stations. You will also see an increasing number of electric, or electric-petrol combined and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cars on the road.
