UK PS2s use PAL format, US TVs use NTSC, which both have different frame rates. If you try to use the UK PS2 on a US TV, the image will flicker and jump around due to this disparity.
While many UK TVs can switch to an NTSC mode, the opposite is rare in the US. But you can get a converter box which both devices plug into, you'd have to buy it online.

Will US wii consoles work in the UK and are UK games compatible?
Yes and no.... The console will work, but you'll need a TV capable of displaying NTSC (UK TVs are PAL), you'll also need to either replace the power supply or get a step down transformer. Nintendo has region locked the games for the Wii, you can only play UK games on a UK console. However this is not necessarily a bad thing as by ordering online from US sites you can still get new release games fairly easily, although the exchange rate has eaten into the savings somewhat. One major downside is that you won't be able to access the UK online service with a US console, only the US service.

Can you use an american playstation 2 in England?
Only in limited ways. First, you will not be able to play UK-bought games on your US PS2. The disks are encoded for a different region. Like movie DVDs, games are region-coded so that disks bought in Asia vs. Europe vs. the US aren't usable elsewhere. Second, you will either need a US-made television or a special connection to the UK TV. Finally, the power current is different. You will need a converter.
