Technically it is possible. But I would not recommend to do so, because it is against TOS. And involves a VPN or proxy.

The reason it's 20% higher for the UK is because of VAT. If you try and avoid that you're going to get banned.
So you're telling me people from the US don't pay tax on games? Well TIL I guess.
Everything seems to be a lot cheaper in the US (because of import tax or whatever it is). I wanted to buy a razor laptop once and it was 1300 USD in the US, but like 2k euros here.
Dont listen to this dude, that's just BS. Source ? Look at Switzerland's pricing. It's 20% higher as well while having one of the lowest VAT rates out there (8%).
Just have a look at Steam.db: price disparity doesnt correlate at all with VAT rates.
The truth is, that's just Steam's regional pricing for you.
Look up regional pricing - Today you learn more. Also I would not recommend VPN, Steam can ban you.
