Do I need an adapter to plug the power strip into the wall in London?

Yes. The power strip has a USA 3-prong plug on the end. You will need an adapter to plug it into the wall outlets for other countries. I recommend the Ceptics universal adapters. They come in sets of 3 for each country, and accept inputs from just about any country's plugs (same outlets as the adapter itself). You can buy all of these on amazon.

Probably not, but I always carry several different type adapters when I travel to Europe, because some hotels are older than others. This power strip is so handy for multiple gadgets that need recharging! Camera, phone, etc.

Yes, we brought it to London and France last August and it worked in both countries using an adapter to plug into their outlets.

Yes and no. They have both this type and the big giant 3 prong one. Come equipped with both and you will be set. Bring a power strip too. That way you can charge many things from one outlet. They don't always have extra outlets in some of them old buildings over there.

Maybe Spain, but DEFINATELY not London. Plugs for the UK are three pronged. Two flat on the bottom & 1 round on top. I would recommend you pay a little more & get one of the combo/assortment pks with a current reducer plug. This way you will be covered for any outlet you might encounter. Hope this helps & have a great trip.

Yes if you have a dual voltage appliance all you need is a way to access the electricity and this adapter will allow you to plug it into the wall.

As mentioned by other commenters all you need is an adapter to make the strip function. But to clarify, if something you plug into the strip can't handle the higher voltages in some countries those devices would need a converter/transformer. Most modern electronics support the higher voltages (read the labeling on power adapter) but items such as hair dryers usually do not.

Mine came with an adapter for plugging into other electrical outlets than the U.S. standards, so I am assuming it will be ok in UK. I have not tried it to verify though.

Everything you use the outlet for in Europe you will need an adapter. No need in a special one, just a simple basic adapter , that is what I used and had no problems.

the strip plugs into a USA receptacle as pictured - yes you will need a PLUG Adaptor to change it from US to UK .... the strip will accept all Europe / UK plugs.... just get a plug adaptor from amazon... they're like $5.00 - and they're great to have, especially if you only want to use it for one device, so you don't have to pull out the strip...

Nope. If you are using it in the US, you don't need anything else. It plugs right into the wall and works well!

I don't believe so and I wouldn't use an adapter. You will probably blow the powerstrip.

I believe each spot can accept either EU or British plug although I have to admit the EU plugs do not hold as firm as I would like. The wall plug itself is an EU plug but the sockets on the strip can accept EU or British configurations. As realdad alluded to below, it will be an ungrounded connection for your EU plugs if that is something of a concern to you.

You would need an Austrian ADAPTOR in order to plug the strip into the wall.

Yes.I ran mine into a plug controlled of a dimmer switch and a power strip as well.I don't know about the use in the UK

Yeah, I'm pretty sure power adapter is sold separately, so you'd have to deal with a cord at least. To answer your question, no, it does not plug in to the wall directly.
