UK power supply is 230V at 50Hz. It is compatible with the rest of Europe but a continental to British connector adaptor will be required.
For visitors from North America, note that the voltage is higher than US and Canadian standards. Some power supplies and equipment will operate on 90V to 260V so they will work with just a connector adaptor. That is the case for most laptop supplies. Other equipment may be fixed at 110V, in which case, they cannot be used safely in the UK without an additional power converter (a 230V to 110V transformer for example). Every power supply has the input voltage marked on it. Be sure to check each power supply before connecting it to a UK supply.
Suitable connector adaptors are available in many hardware and electronics stores in England as well as in airport stores. Although the airports are the most expensive place to buy them, it saves a lot of time searching for stores that sell them. Note that the connector adaptors DO NOT change the voltage.

The nominal voltage in the UK is 230 V and it is allowed to vary between -6% and +10%. In other words, the actualvoltage can vary between 216 V and 253 V. So there is absolutely no need for an adapter to change the voltage from 230 V to 240 V.
