What to expect in Bath

Bath uses British Type G sockets at 230 V / 50 Hz. Older buildings sometimes have fewer sockets than you would like, so a small extension lead earns its place.

Power in United Kingdom comes mainly from natural gas, wind, nuclear. Grid reliability is described as excellent.

Good to know: G everywhere; D and M survive in some older buildings.

What to pack for Bath

A travel adapter with Type G, Type D and Type M on the socket side.
A step-down converter if you are bringing 110 V appliances that are not marked 100–240 V.
A device label check: anything marked 100–240 V needs the adapter, nothing else.
