GBR vs USA Attachment for Power Adapter

I have a MacBook Air M1 2020 and I want to make sure I use the right charger when traveling. In the US, I have a 30W USB-C Power Adapter. The attachment that I use says "USA 125V- 2.5A." Soon, I will be in London and want to make sure I have the right charging tools ahead of time.

I have an attachment to use in the UK, but I have not used it since I had my last Mac (a 2014 MacBook Pro). I bought this adapter in an Apple Store in London years ago. It says "GBR 2.5A 250Vac."

Will my MacBook Air M1 (2020) charge across the pond with this GBR charger or do I need a different adapter to match the numbers on the US attachment?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

you should look for a different adapter. tech specs - https://support.apple.com/kb/SP825?locale=en_US

***edit, I just saw that your adapter says 250 not 240Vac so I changed what I wrote.
