Is it possible to install a 110v line in my kitchen in the UK?

Lord Brett Sinclair asked:
I’m returning to the UK soon after having spent the last 20+ years abroad. I have a lot of 110v kitchen appliances I would like to take home with me. Is there any way for an electrician to run a 110v line to my kitchen, or will I be stuck with 220v?

I believe the answer would be YES with certain reservations, you would need a rather large transformer situated somewhere accessible. You would require different wall sockets which were different from the 240 V standard UK sockets, and provided that the circuit was for small domestic appliances I could see no problem.
Give this a lot of thought, it could be cheaper to buy 240 V appliances.
You can but a transformer that you can plug in to a normal powerpoint that will take 110v up to 220v. This would definitely be the cheapest option. Here is a website that sells them.
