Where to find travel plug adaptors?

Options
Where can I find a travel plug adaptor...I have a polish mobile phone charger which i need to plug in to an english plug socket. So i need something that will change from european to english, if you know what i mean.

Ive checked woolworths and wilkinsons, but not found anything. Anyone know anywher else to try?

Thanks loads,

Ryan

    I would go online or try the airports. The retail outlets here are geared up for people travelling abroad and so have the adapters from UK to overseas rather than the other way around.

    Can't vouch for them though as I have never used them.

    Could also try Robert Dyas and B&Q, I assume a shaver adapter won't work.

    The OP is after a Euro -> UK convertor not UK -> Euro.

    Also, be careful of those Pounland ones. I took one to Poland and the plugs there had a "sticking out earth" and of course there was no hole for the earth in the convertor. I.E. it needed one of those bronze bits in the "Best budget US to Euro" at http://www.beststuff.co.uk/electrical_plug_adapters.htm

    Last time I looked (about a month ago) Tesco had both kinds, a cheap-ish at £2.79 and a more expensive brand at £5.99 :)

    Tesco have the Europe to UK ones- remember to check the voltage on your appliance- it will wreck most appliances, putting 230V into a 110V anything.;)
