It’s not a UK cultural thing - never in my life or any friends who I asked have attached a photo - but it’s often done by applicants who might be UK residents when it’s considered the norm in their country of origin.

Personally I hate it, as I know subconsciously having seen their photo, I _will_ use it as part of my evaluation which is unfair to other candidates.

What you describe is what I would consider a cultural thing. Here in Germany everybody attaches a photo (often a business-like studio photo), for instance.
