The gear stick may be on the driver's left in the UK, but the indicator and windscreen wiper/wash stalks do not necessarily follow.
All my cars for the last ~15-20 years have had the indicator stalk on the left (i.e. same side as the gear stick), and the windscreen wiper/wash controls on the right, but I suspect that this might be a manufacturer-specific convention.
A quick bit of googled internet wisdom suggest Japanese brands tend to the right, European brands tend to the left, and EU standardisation has settled on left.
Strictly speaking, I would expect the indicator to be activated prior to commencing a manoeuvre, so would expect the two actions to not overlap.
