Whoa! Whatever the answer, you'll be able to find an adapter at most
UK airports. But to get the definitive answer, quickly call <a
href="http://www.teleadapt.com/">TeleAdapt</a> tomorrow. They're
great, and have everything for phone and AC adapters. They probably
can't get what you need in such a short time, even with next-day
shipping, but you'll know what you need, if anything.

I've been using their products since 1995, and they've been
absolutely great. I even re-wired the telephone portal of a
Mediterranean island with the stuff in one of their kits (plus a bit
of wire)!

Mind the gap!
