put it above the shower and duct it through the ceiling
Is that possible in an old Victorian terrace ?

Yes. If the ceiling has been fucked with already - which it looks like it has - it's less messy and probably easier.
Obvs. depends on what's above and where the ducting has to go - if it's the empty roof space above then happy days as you can work from it from above. If it's another floor, it's a fairly big disruptive job as you'll big taking big bits of your ceiling out.

If it's possible put it above the shower and duct it through the ceiling. More from an aesthetics perspective. And fan should be able to shift the air in that size room pretty quickly so placement for efficiency is less of a concern.
If you use that window, I would be wary of B or C because the fan will pull air in through the window rather than dry air in through the door which is what you are aiming for. I also wouldn't want it near my boiler tbh. No idea if it would fall foul of regs if it is in B or C but from an access perspective it could make things difficult and you've got more chance of fucking something important up when wiring it.
You know about bathroom splash zoning presumably? You might have to use a 12v fan with a transformer or a zone 2 certified 240v.
