Sorry, to be clear: I am moving from the US to the U.K. and bringing my machines with me. I’d rather find real power cables than use adapters.
Yes, exactly. As h9826790 suggested, the power cable is nothing special, and I suspect he was NOT referring to a plug adapter - although that would work fine, as well.
Anyway, it's a standard power cable - easy to find when you get to UK.
You would get one just like this - http://internationalconfig.com/icc6.asp?item=83221
I think you would be getting a spare for the original power cable, so that would be a service replacement part. You would probably have to ask at a UK Apple store for that - if you want the exact part that Apple supplies (and pay the Apple premium on that, too! )
Why not just get a mains cable? I think in UK that is usually called a "kettle lead"

There's even white cables, find those by scrolling down!
You would be spending much less, for the same quality as the Apple part. Good stuff for less than £2.-
