Make sure you buy a stepdown adapter to bring the 220-240V supply down to 110-112V. rated to a least 50W (the Wii PSU is rated at 45W) at You may know this, but I have known people to buy a plug adapter only and fry their new toys.

That's not actually necessary. The Wii power supply is external, so all that's required is to buy a UK Wii power supply.
