I was baffled as to why you were having trouble finding a battery powered clock radio--they are really quite a plentiful commodity, so I figured you must want one with real analog clock, instead of a digital display. This one is an atomic clock, meaning that it you don't have to set it, it sets automatically. It is a bit expensive, but seems to be of a very high quality. Amazon UK offers it also, and a pillow speaker, if you like.
