Kitchen Planning Advice

This is the kitchen plan. I have an issue using same width units as there is not much room for manouvere. The boiler is on the end next to the cooker and there is limited space as highlighted by the chequered red of 960mm at the narrowest. I have tried everything but can't do much else. The sink, double oven unit and cooker has to be where it is really.

Very split opinions lol. My dilemma is that I prefer the longer worktop but feel the hob as soon as you walk in the kitchen door as well lack of surface space to that side won't look as good or be practical. On the other hand having a whole surface space free is nice. If the hob is on the window side you have 1.2 Metres of worktop when you walk in and some on the other side but then no completely free worktop. The kitchen is only 2.7 metres long and the 3D Image can be misleading. The view on the image below gives a better example of the space.

Yes, with those dimensions and a boiler to work around, you're definitely going to be pushing for alternatives. Your workflow looks decent. I think you're probably about as good as you're going to get...

Thank you guys. I have changed the plans so everything doesn't look cramped. I am getting a double built under oven instead and wall mounting the microwave.  
Images below. Also any idea about how many downlights I should use in such a space?

Two would probably be enough. 600mm to 800mm from either doorway mounted centrally between the units. I'd also suggest some under-unit lights on the opposite side to the window. Don't waste your money on kickstrip lighting unless you want to replicate aircraft emergency lighting (or if you are in the habit of really burning food).
