The best corner sockets, compared.
Top pick: BEVA 90 degree lead Best value: BEVA 90 degree lead – About £22.99 with four switched outlets, mounting holes and 4.8 from 25 early reviews. The cheaper ANVODE listing is excluded after heat and fire reports. Updated October 2026.
A corner socket is either a plug-in extension lead shaped to sit where two surfaces meet, or a fixed 13 A socket made to mount where a worktop meets a wall. A trailing lead uses a BS 1363 wall socket and a 13 A plug fuse. A fixed fitting is wired on a circuit to BS 7671. The choice between a [plug-in lead and a wired socket](/hub/sockets-and-extension-leads/corner-socket/sub/corner-socket-plug-in-or-wired) comes before USB ports or a night light. Judge a printed mains rating that is not a USB figure, then a fixing that matches the room. Do not add the outlets together. Adhesive pads, screw holes and a screwed housing are different jobs. A kitchen mention on the page is not a splash rating. In England, a new circuit, a consumer-unit change, and bath or shower work are notifiable. Kitchen work on an existing circuit is no longer notifiable, and it still has to be safe. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland need a local check. A fixed socket needs a competent person who can isolate the circuit and identify the earth.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Will you wire it?
The BEVA 90 degree lead puts four UK outlets with individual illuminated switches, four USB slots and a 1.8 m cable on a black corner body at about £22.99. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.8 from 25 reviews, a small and mostly early-use sample, yet the saved texts praise the angled sockets against a wall, the per-outlet switches beside a TV, and the two mounting holes on a desk edge or inside a cupboard. That mix of switched outlets and fixings is why it is the best value plug-in lead here once heat-flagged cheaper options are set aside. The bullet prints 3250 W maximum and 900 joules. A separate mains amp figure is not listed. USB-A up to 18 W and USB-C up to 20 W are single-port claims, and the table does not split how many of each port you get. One review title mentions a white unit while this listing is black.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A desk, TV corner or cupboard edge where you want switched plugs, USB charging and screw fixing without wiring a fixed socket.
Less suitable: A permanent worktop install that needs BS 1363-2, anyone who needs a large review sample, or a wet kitchen splash zone.
Specifications
Common questions
Does 3250 W mean each socket on the BEVA?
The bullet says maximum output 3250 W. It does not print a per-socket wattage. A mains amp rating is not printed, so do not treat 3250 W as a measured load.
How many USB-C ports does the BEVA spec table list?
The spec fields do not split USB-A and USB-C counts. The title names a PD 20 W USB-C charger. One review says 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A. Count the ports on the unit.
How is the BEVA lead fixed?
Two mounting holes. A tool-free claim is not printed. A kitchen cupboard is named on the page, and no splash rating is printed.
The Knightsbridge SKR008 is a fixed stainless-steel 2-gang 13 A double-pole socket, about 212 mm long and 77 mm deep, listed at about £27.99. Across 398 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.5, the deepest sample here, which is why it is the top pick when you want a wired corner on a worktop rather than another trailing lead. Buyers like the plug angle that keeps the flex off the surface and the finish against a white plastic faceplate. Reviews also say there is no back, so the rear must sit on a wall or inside an enclosure, and the stainless face scratches easily. Screw covers go missing or arrive in the wrong finish. One saved review describes an earth assembly fault on arrival, so a competent person should check the terminals before energising. Kitchen splash protection is not printed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A kitchen or breakfast-bar corner where you can isolate the circuit and wire a permanent 13 A double socket against a flat wall and worktop.
Less suitable: Renters who need a plug-in lead, anyone without a competent person for the install, or a wet splash zone that needs a printed IP rating.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the SKR008 plug into a wall socket?
No. The listing describes a socket you wire in. No mains lead is listed. Cable enters the fitting, and the circuit has to be isolated before anyone works on it.
What has to sit flat when it is fitted?
The listing says both the base and the rear must sit against a flat surface. Reviews say there is no back, so the rear needs a wall or an enclosure.
Does the SKR008 include USB?
USB is not listed. The printed mains line is 13 A at 230 V, with double-pole switching and BS 1363-2 named on the page.
The Brennenstuhl estilo is a plug-in corner lead with a stainless-look face, listed at about £27.82 for desk, kitchen or office use. The title promises three earthed sockets and two USB ports, yet one bullet says two sockets in an 80 degree layout and the outlets field prints four, so you should count the face before you rely on it. Only 12 amazon.co.uk reviews sit behind the 4.4 line, and five UK texts are in the saved file, which is too thin for a defect pattern. Buyers who keep it praise the finish where a clamp would not fit. One review says the adhesive pads suit vertical fixing only, against the horizontal claim on the page. A 13 A mains rating is not printed on the Amazon file. The 3 A and 3.1 A figures sit beside the USB line. Type G and Type B both appear as plug fields.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A visible desk or kitchen corner where you want a short plug-in lead with a steel-look face and you will verify the outlet count on the unit.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a clear printed mains amp rating, a long review sample, or a fixed wired socket.
Specifications
Common questions
How many mains sockets does the estilo Amazon file claim?
The title says 3 earthed sockets. One bullet says 2 earthed sockets in an 80 degree arrangement. The outlets field says 4. Count the sockets on the unit before you rely on a number.
Is a 13 A mains rating printed for the estilo on Amazon?
No. On the Amazon file, 3 A and 3.1 A are printed next to the USB charging line. A 13 A mains rating is not in that file. The manufacturer page states 3250 W, which is a separate source from the Amazon bullets.
How is the estilo fixed?
The bullets say adhesive pads, with no drilling, horizontal or vertical. One review says the tape suits vertical fixing only. No IP rating is printed on the Amazon spec table.
The ANVODE triangular lead puts three UK outlets and four USB ports on a white corner bar with a 2 m cable and adhesive pads, listed at about £18.99. Across 131 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.3, and many buyers like the shape on a sofa back, dressing table or worktop. The same sample includes stiff shutters that fight the plug, pads that fail, slow or dead USB ports, and several reports of heat, buzzing, flickering, a spark at the switch or a tripped kitchen breaker. One review says the unit caught fire after about six months. That is a review report, not a lab finding, and it is why this listing is not the value pick despite the lower price. A mains watt rating is not printed. The USB bullet gives per-port amps that do not add up to the stated 5 V / 3.4 A total.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you accept a thin price-led plug-in corner lead for light desk charging and you will watch for heat on first use.
Less suitable: Kettle or heater loads, anyone who wants a clean safety record in the reviews, or a fixed 13 A worktop socket.
Specifications
Common questions
What mains wattage is printed for the ANVODE lead?
A mains watt rating is not printed. The 3 A and 5 V figures on the page sit on the USB line. Do not treat them as the mains rating.
Do the ANVODE USB current figures agree?
The bullet says USB-C up to 3 A each and USB-A up to 2.4 A, and a total of 5 V / 3.4 A. Those lines do not agree once several ports are in use. Quote the printed total rather than adding the ports.
What do the saved ANVODE reviews report about heat?
Saved UK reviews describe heat, buzzing, flickering, a spark at the switch, a tripped kitchen breaker, and one report of a fire after about six months. That is a review report, not a lab test. Stop if the lead heats or a plug will not insert.
The white ToneRiso corner strip offers five AC outlets, two USB-A and two USB-C ports, a 2 m cable and a three-colour touch night light at about £19.99. The 4.2 line from 24 reviews is the same text sample as the black sibling, so you should not double-count the stars. Buyers like the compact triangle against a TV unit or desk and the night light as a spare feature. One review says the front fascia fell off within a week. Another says the fuse blew once more than one plug was in use. The listing prints 1050 joules and up to 2500 W, yet a review says the box does not mention surge protection, and the current fields print 4.2 A next to the USB line rather than a separate mains amp rating.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A white desk or TV corner that needs five plugs and a night light, with light loads and no need for a separate review sample per colour.
Less suitable: Heavy multi-plug loads, kitchen splash zones, or shoppers who want a printed mains amp rating and a unique review sample.
Specifications
Common questions
Is 4.2 A the mains current on the white ToneRiso?
The current fields say 4.2 A, matching the USB line of 5 V, 4.2 A. A separate mains amp rating is not printed. The bullet says up to 2500 W.
Do these reviews belong only to the white listing?
No. The twelve UK review texts match the black ToneRiso file. Treat the 4.2 line from 24 reviews as one sample across the two colours.
Is surge protection printed on the ToneRiso box?
The listing prints 1050 joules. A review says the box does not mention surge protection. Treat the joule line as a page claim, not a lab result.
The black ToneRiso strip mirrors the white listing: five AC outlets, four USB ports, a 2 m cable and a touch night light at about £19.99. The amazon.co.uk star line is 4.2 from 24 reviews, and the twelve UK texts in the saved file match the white listing, including one that praises a white finish. Desk and home-office buyers like the flat back and the night light. The same shared complaints appear: a fascia that needed glue after a week, surge protection on the Amazon page but not on the box, and a fuse that blew with more than one plug in use. The bullet claims up to 2500 W while the maximum current field prints 4.2 A beside the USB rating. Treat colour as the only real difference from the white ASIN.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A dark desk or media unit corner that needs five plugs and a night light under light load.
Less suitable: Anyone counting white and black reviews as two samples, kettle-level loads, or a wired worktop socket.
Specifications
Common questions
Is 4.2 A the mains current on the black ToneRiso?
The maximum current field prints 4.2 A, the same figure as the USB line. A separate mains amp rating is not printed. The bullet says up to 2500 W.
Are the black ToneRiso reviews a separate sample?
No. The same twelve UK review texts appear on the white listing. Count the 4.2 line from 24 reviews once, even though the ASINs are different colours.
Does the black listing print surge protection on the box?
The listing prints 1050 joules. One review says the box does not mention surge protection. The joule figure is a claim on the page.
Six amazon.co.uk listings were scored for this page. Weights sum to 100. Shelf date 21 October 2026. Stars, review counts and printed ratings come from those listings. A watt bullet or a joule line is a claim on the page, not a measured load. There was no lab test. Outlet conflicts, a shared review sample, and heat or fire reports in saved reviews sit outside the 100 as clarity deductions.
Star line
50%amazon.co.uk stars divided by 5, then multiplied by 50. A printed joule line or a 2500 W or 3250 W bullet does not add points. The points follow the star line on the listing.
Review depth
20%Review count on a log scale against the 398-review listing in this set. Twenty-five early reviews cannot match that depth. The two ToneRiso colours share one sample, so the depth is not counted twice.
Price band
15%GBP on amazon.co.uk on 21 October 2026. A price near £19 scores higher on this block than a price near £28. Fixed and plug-in listings share the same band for ranking only.
Listing clarity
15%Starts at 15. Points come off for an outlet-count conflict, a missing mains amp beside a watt claim, a shared review sample, USB figures that disagree, and a heat or fire cluster in saved UK reviews.
The checks run in this order: plug-in or fixed, a printed mains rating that is not a USB figure, then fixing, USB and the review sample. The table is the six stored listings. Watt bullets and joule lines stay seller claims. None of these fittings was load-tested for this page.
A corner socket in this UK comparison is either a plug-in extension lead shaped to sit in a corner, or a fixed 13 A socket made to mount where a worktop meets a wall. You still have one supply. A trailing lead takes a BS 1363 wall socket and the fuse in a 13 A plug. A fixed socket is wired to BS 7671. This page uses six stored amazon.co.uk listings dated 21 October 2026. It is not a laboratory test, and none of these listings is described as the safest. Form is the first check.
Five sockets are not five times the power. The limit is the printed mains rating of the lead or the 13 A fuse in a BS 1363 plug. A joule number is a surge claim on the page, not an overload limit.
The estilo Amazon file prints 3 A and 3.1 A beside the USB line and does not print 13 A. ANVODE prints per-port USB amps that do not match its 5 V / 3.4 A total. Quote the total the listing prints. Do not add the ports into a new figure.
Electrical Safety First says not to daisy-chain leads, and to stop at heat, sparks or scorch marks. ANVODE reviews also describe plugs that will not insert. Stop, rather than forcing the shutter. Pads next to a kettle are a separate mistake.
A plug-in corner lead needs no wiring. It uses a BS 1363 wall socket and the fuse in the 13 A plug. A fixed socket is wired to BS 7671. The Knightsbridge SKR008 has to be earthed and isolated, and the open back has to sit on flat surfaces. Knightsbridge says a qualified electrician or a competent person. Read the printed mains rating next. Do not add the sockets. Do not treat a USB current as the mains current. In this set the SKR008 prints 13 A, 230 V and BS 1363-2.
USB is the check after the mains limit. ANVODE says up to 3 A on each USB-C and a total of 5 V / 3.4 A. Those lines cannot both be true with several ports in use. BEVA’s 18 W and 20 W lines are single-port claims, and the table does not split USB-A and USB-C counts. The SKR008 has no USB. Fixing splits the same way as the form. Adhesive pads are on ANVODE and the estilo. BEVA has two screw holes. The SKR008 is a screwed housing.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You need a plug-in lead and you will not alter the furniture. The BEVA 90 degree lead is the best value at about £22.99, with 4.8 from 25 early reviews, four switched outlets and two mounting holes you can leave unused. A separate mains amp is not printed beside the 3250 W bullet.
You can isolate the circuit and you want a steel 13 A socket on a worktop. The Knightsbridge SKR008 is the top pick at about £27.99, with 4.5 from 398 reviews, double-pole switching and BS 1363-2 named on the listing. The back is open, and splash protection is not printed.
You want a white corner strip for light loads, with a 2 m cable and a touch night light. The ToneRiso white strip is about £19.99, with 4.2 from 24 reviews. Those texts are the same sample as the black listing. A fascia and a fuse complaint are in that sample.
The top pick is the Knightsbridge SKR008 at about £27.99, with 4.5 from 398 reviews. It is the only fixed 13 A double-pole socket in this set, and the listing names BS 1363-2. Reviews say the back is open and the stainless face scratches. The best value is the BEVA 90 degree lead at about £22.99, with 4.8 from 25 early reviews, four switched outlets, four USB slots and two mounting holes. A mains amp figure is not printed beside the 3250 W bullet. The ANVODE lead at about £18.99 is cheaper and is not the value pick after heat, spark and one fire report in saved UK reviews.
BEVA 90 degree lead
About £22.99 with four switched outlets, mounting holes and 4.8 from 25 early reviews. The cheaper ANVODE listing is excluded after heat and fire reports.
