In short No,
The UK and most of Europe uses 230V ac single phase for domestic and light commercial installations and 400V ac three phase for industrial and heavy commercial requirements.
The confusion comes the fact that a lot of cables are rated for use up to 600 or 650V ac and have markings on the insulation showing this.
The wiring regulations allow for systems up to 1000V ac but these are rare. Distribution circuits ie the underground or over head supply cables between power stations and substations use 11,000 33,000, 125,000 and even 400,000 Volts.
The UK previously used 240 / 415V and a lot of Europe used 220 / 380V but this was harmonised in 1988 with effect from 1995 (these changes make no practical difference for the user) but a lot of equipment is still labeled 240V or 415V.
