That is correct. The way to determine whether a convertor is required 
(as opposed to a simple adaptor to allow you to actually plug the device 
in, which is what I thought you meant) is to look at the back of the 
device or the power brick and locate the section that describes the 
electrical requirements of it. If it says 100-240V and 50-60Hz then it 
is safe to use in the UK and Europe.
