Electrical compatibility between different countries

What electrical compatibility parameters and safety guidelines should be borne in mind when moving from one country to another? As far as I know, there are

  1. AC voltage (110V, 220-240 V),
  2. frequency (50/60 Hz),
  3. plug socket type (varies widely) and
  4. product wattage (depends on the individual appliance).

I am moving from India to UK later this month and I find that of the above parameters, only the plug socket varies (220V/50 Hz in both countries). If I have a plug socket converter, will I be able to any electrical appliance from India in the UK?
