You can pick up an adapter kit at the Boots drug store when you arrive
at the airport in the UK or in town at any "discount" place [HAHAHA,
there's no discount places in the UK, try Sainsbury or Tesco or one of
the little shops in hypermarkets].
One plug converter is $10 at Radio Shack. REI [camping] has a kit of 5
for $10--online and in store. I charge my phone and iPod in the cars we
rent, or use a Duracell universal charger with USB port and car adapter
[CEF23]. Don't get the one-piece gizmo that's supposed to work for all
plugs--it doesn't--too bulky.

from the wall outlet that plugs into the charger says 120 volts! Do I

You can get that at CVS too (at least you can in Washington).
Charger specs look OK.
Don't forget that you have to type on the opposite side of the keyboard.
