It should be no problem to get the cord you need. From the photo it
appears that the end of the power cable is a standard IEC C13 female
plug connector as used on so many computers and other electronic
devices. A quick search on Google or your favorite supplier should
let you find the cord you need. Or the adaptor you need.
The comment on UK is significant. I know that a lot of UK power
cords have a fuse in the plug.

be prudent to verify that the fuse is the correct size for the device
and that you have spares.
I think they do some of their premises wiring quite different from US
practise. Specifically the ring circuit

high current.
Perhaps our friends over the pond can provide accurate and definitive
information
