The Sony adapter PRSA-AC1 that came with my 950 is rated for input: 100 - 240V, 50/60 Hz, 0.2A. You should see that in tiny writing on the label. I would think it should be fine without the transformer, and you just need a US-to-UK outlet plug adapter. But, as delphin says, many cell phone or other gadget chargers work fine too. Here are the official specs from the 950 User Guide:

AC Adapter for Reader (PRSA-AC1)
 Output: 5.0 V DC, 1,500 mA

 Operating/Charging temperature: 41˚F to 95˚F (5˚C to
35˚C)
 Dimensions (w/h/d):
Approx. 1 7/16 × 2 7/8 × 1 5/16 inches (Approx. 36 × 70 ×
33 mm)
 Mass: Approx. 1.76 oz. (50 g)
 USB cable length: Approx. 58 1/8 inches (1.5 m)
