Are these walls load bearing?

Hi All,

I just moved in with my girlfriend to our new home (built in 1970's) in the UK.
We are doing some 'facelifting' in the property, like removing all the wood which you see on the walls, and fitting a new kitchen.
My question is, can we remove both these walls, or at least on of them? It would make the kitchen much bigger and more comfortable.

The 2 walls are sitting in the middle of the ~6m wide property about a meter apart. They are 8-9cm wide, with the thin but tall grey bricks (sorry, I don't know the appropriate name).
The beams are sitting on both of them, but the joints are only on the left handside one. There are no walls sitting right above them, only the cross beams.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
