iPad USA with plug and cable
I purchased my iPad 9th generation which came with American plug for charging. It also came with the lead. What do I need to purchase to change the plug so I can use it in the U.K.
iPad Air, iOS 12

All Apple iPad USB power adapters are designed for use with power sources rated to provide 100V AC to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz. Apple iPad USB power adapters also comply with the IEC/UL 60950-1 and IEC/UL 62368-1 standards for use with power sources rated to provide 115V AC at 400Hz (typically found onboard commercial airlines).
While your US-spec’ Power Adapter will be fully usable in the UL and when travelling internationally, you may require a simple pin-adapter to allow the Power Adapter to be used with AC power outlets in different countries. For example, a US flat 2-pin connector will require an adapter for the standard European round 2-pin socket - or UK 3-pin square socket. Travel adapters are readily available.
Alternatively, consider purchase of a UK-specification Power Adapter for your iPad. These are relatively inexpensive. Most (if not all) iPad models are supplied with a 20W USB-C Power Adapter:

If you have multiple Apple devices, such an iPad and iPhone, you may find the dual output 35W Power Adapter to be even more useful:

The 35W Dual USB-C Adapter can be used with an International Adapter Kit:
