You probably need a transformer like this
Or maybe pick up a 2nd hand 240v charger ?

the charger that came with the mavic can use 100 to 240 volts so all you need is an adapter for your US socket to a UK one and then you can charge them up as normal

Good to know, I now seem to recall that on the charger data label.
I’ve used various camera 240v chargers on 110v mains with pin adapters overseas, but thought the other way around was more potential for problems of higher voltage.
Or just get a UK spec lead, they are common as mud and problably as cheap as an adapter https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/pel00421/lead-uk-plug-to-c7-black-1m/dp/PL15562?fi=wp
This will do the trick. I always just use Apple duckheads when travelling. Many don't realise they are also a figure 8 and fit into that socket perfectly.
