Cabo Verde to United Kingdom: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

If you're heading to United Kingdom from Cabo Verde, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.

Cabo Verde uses Type C and F plugs, while United Kingdom uses Type G. Since there is no overlap, you will need a travel adapter to plug in your devices. Make sure to pick one up before your trip or at the airport.

The voltage and frequency in United Kingdom (230V, 50Hz) are the same as Cabo Verde (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

When packing for United Kingdom, bring at least one adapter per room if you're traveling with others. Airport shops often sell them at a markup, so ordering one online beforehand saves money. A small power strip from home can also multiply a single adapter into several outlets.

Frequently Asked Questions
