Yes. The standard floor area to fit 'white goods'
(oven, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, fridge) is
600 mm wide by 600 mm deep in the UK too.

That usually means all cupboards in the row are 600 mm
deep.

The word 'preferred' is my experience too. It has been
preferred by kitchen designers and suppliers that I
have used in the UK. The sink unit is usually 1000 mm
wide. Units of all other widths are easily available.
I see 500 mm very often. Units of 300 mm seem to be
for special things like shelves and wine racks. I have
a cupboard that is 300 mm wide and 600 mm deep and I
think it is far too narrow for good use as a cupboard.

You (Pat) mention wall studs and bricks but they are
of no consequence to kitchen installation in the UK,
as far as I know.
