In the UK, almost all homes are constructed with bricks - so you can plaster directly onto the bricks, with no need to put up laths like you would for American-style timber-framed homes.
Ceilings are usually plasterboard in most modern homes in the UK, rather than the lath-and-plaster used in older buildings, ain't nobody got time for that :)
