It's definitely more a US thing, but it isn't "frowned upon" in the UK.
In the US it's almost a strict requirement for your application to have done the networking. In the UK, it'll help your application (either a slight head start if you have a referral, or in being able to name drop in an interview and demonstrate that you're a motivated candidate who has done work and who clearly wants this).
There's definitely no downside (unless you somehow act very weird). Worst someone will do is ignore your cold LinkedIn / email.
