The Voodoo AC receptacle is a standard Hubbell IG8300 rated at 120V. It is not code for use in the UK, that is why it will not fit in the box. If you want an audio grade receptacle that will fit in a UK box and be to code, try the Furutech FP-1363-S.

Installing electric back box is simple(make sure you cut off the power where you do your work).

It is not simple - It LOOKS simple. Get licensed electrician. I was zapped couple of times by 220V and have to warn you that it is much, much worse than 120V. Don't take unnecessary risk. There are certain areas where saving money is not very wise.

Try Parts Connection or The Cable Co but they will probably only send 240v gear to UK and 110 hear in US.
