Default Travel to London from US

I’m going to be working remotely from London and bring my gear with me. I will have plenty of travel adapters to go from US to UK and all my gear supports 220v.

My question is.. can I use a dump US power strip with a single Type G adapter to plug into UK power and then plug the rest of my gear into the US power strip?

By “dumb” I mean a strip that has no circuit protection, lights, etc. it’s just a simple power strip with 6 outlets.

Thanks for any input.

Yes.
UK Socket -> Plug adapter -> simple PDU (power distribution unit; the usual term for "dumb" power strips as you called it) -> devices that support 220V but through US plugs.

Just be absolutely sure that all your devices have universal power supplies. Some do but have to have a switch flipped. I've seen the (sometimes) exploding devices when things go wrong (most of the time, the fuse can't catch that.)

Perfect. Thanks BScout.

Plugging in Apple devices and Avid devices so should be all good.
