Yes an IEC distribution strip/block is an equally acceptable alternative.
Agree regarding the use of a fused BS1363 mains plug between the wall socket and the distribution strip. Also I would be wary of using 'fancy' fuses. If they are not marked with the BS kite mark, or are at least marked as conforming to BS1362, then avoid. Also be aware there are many cheap counterfeit fuses for sale, that are unsafe - caveat emptor. Insurance companies will often look at these things when a claim is made.
