Yes to limited worktop area (though we have even less space at the moment with a larger sink and a larger hob - the return on the L is just a butchers block with a microwave (that we'd get rid of) and toaster on it so I do almost all prep on about 70cm or less.
No room for an island, unfortunately. To the left of the return is a door through to some steps up to the utility room so would want some kind of flow through / not dodging an island.
Would have been interested in an eye level oven but as well as the limited worktop is perceived impact on light/space - we put a tall unit in that position in an earlier mock-up and it just felt too dark/imposing as you came into the room. The windows look into an alley with steep walls beyond, so it's quite dark at the best of times (even though it wouldn't technically block a window).
But good to know re. moving a sink, though it sounds like additional drainage works would push beyond our intent of 'mainly DIY and trades just where we have to'.

assuming you're going for an undercounter oven so you have space for the hob / don't sacrifice the limited worktop area?
any room for an island at all?
yes, you can move sink etc. to a different wall, but keep in mind that you may need to have additional drainage works outside (may need to move the gulley)
