Double Dragon 20W Fast Charging 5-in-1 UK to EU Travel Adapter (2× USB-A & 2× USB-C, UK 3-pin to EU 2-pin)
Product description
If you’re the one in the group who always has the charger, this Double Dragon travel adapter is built for that exact kind of problem: different plug types, multiple devices, and not enough sockets. It’s a compact 5-in-1 adapter that takes a UK 3-pin plug and gives you the European 2-pin style, while also adding four USB ports.
The headline feature is the 20W fast charging support on both USB-A and USB-C, aimed at smartphones, tablets, and power banks. Still, it’s worth being realistic about expectations: fast charging is only as good as the device you plug in and the cable you use—so it’s not a magic speed button for everything.
The essentials
This adapter covers a very common travel setup: you need one mains plug in the wall (UK 3-pin to EU 2-pin), plus charging for up to five devices at once via a mix of USB-A and USB-C. On paper, that’s useful whether you’re sharing one socket in a hotel room, charging in the living area of a holiday apartment, or topping up on the go between destinations.
It includes: - 1 UK AC outlet - 2 USB-A ports - 2 USB-C ports
For many travellers, the convenience isn’t just “multi-port” — it’s knowing you can keep your phone, earbuds case, a tablet, and a power bank moving without swapping plugs every time someone needs a top-up.
Where it really stands out
The most noticeable thing here is the mix of port types. USB-C is often the fastest, most future-proof route for modern phones and accessories, while USB-A is still handy for older devices and certain travel gadgets that don’t have USB-C.
It also targets charging speed with “up to 20W” smart charging, and it states an optimal charging figure of up to 20W (5V/3.4A). The practical result, if your devices support it, is that you’re less likely to get the slow “standard adapter” experience when you’re away from home.
A quick example
Imagine you’re in Spain for a few days. You plug the adapter into the wall, connect your phone to one USB-C port, your power bank to USB-A, and your tablet to the other USB-C. Instead of hunting for extra wall sockets or carrying multiple chargers, you’ve got everything on one small brick. It’s a simple setup, but those are the ones you’ll actually use.

Safety and compliance: what to expect
Travel chargers live a hard life—tight spaces, lots of plugging/unplugging, and varying wall power. This model leans into that with built-in protections against over-current, over-voltage, and overheating, plus a child-proof safety shutter intended to reduce accidental insertion of objects.
It also mentions grounded round pins for secure connections, which is the sort of detail you’re glad about when you’re dealing with less-than-perfect hotel sockets.
That said, do keep expectations grounded. No adapter can guarantee peak charging speed for every device combination, because charging has to negotiate with what each connected device actually requests.
European compatibility (and the one limitation to note)
The adapter is positioned as a UK to EU travel adapter with wide compatibility across many European countries, including Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Italy, Sweden, and more.
There is an important caveat: it’s not suitable for some cities in Italy and may require a Type C plug in those locations. If your trip includes specific regions of Italy, it’s worth double-checking before you travel—this is the sort of mismatch that can ruin the first evening.
Who it suits best (and who should be cautious)
It’s a good fit if you want one compact travel adapter that covers both plug type conversion (UK 3-pin to EU 2-pin) and multi-device charging, without relying on a single USB port.
You may want to skip it if: - you’re travelling to a destination in Italy where Type C compatibility is required (as noted) - you only ever charge one device and don’t need the extra USB-A/USB-C ports (in which case a simpler adapter might be enough) - you’re expecting consistently “full-speed 20W” charging for a mixed set of devices (it depends on device support and how charging negotiates)
Should you buy it?
If your priority is one travel adapter that handles UK-to-EU plug conversion and charges multiple devices at once, this Double Dragon 5-in-1 is a sensible, practical choice. The 20W fast charging support across USB-C and USB-A ports is the part that could make it feel more than “just another plug converter”, especially when you’re juggling a phone plus a tablet or power bank.
It might not be the best pick if you’re going somewhere with the stated Italy city limitation, or if you prefer a simpler, single-purpose adapter and you don’t actually need five-device charging.
