Answer 1 :
The UK uses 240v, so you'll need a 'step down' transformer to 110/120v. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Step-down-voltage-converter-240V/dp/B000L99ZJ2
Answer 2 :
Assuming you're from the USA... you need to buy a plug extension so that your adapter will fit in the UK sockets; it will have your own socket on one side and turns it into a UK plug (see link below). Other than that it should work fine, as most adapters support a range of 100 ~ 240 Volts. Might wanna check your adapter, just to be sure though. It should be written on the sticker. Hope this helps!
Answer 3 :
You should get like a travel kit of different converters but specifically for UK you'll need 220 V.
