Would depend if the switch (not pull cord) is outside the zones? if it is? Although not really an ideal position, it could be acceptable in accordance to BS7671.
But I would personally consider that there is a higher chance of moisture ingress, through condensation than there would be if located outside the shower area, so I would consider flagging up under external influence.
How high is the ceiling?
Would you switch an electrical appliance on or off with your feet in water no matter how much you trusted an RCD? This seems a stupid place for an isolator!
Next room or as far away from the Zones as practicable.

Not as far as the regs are concerned.Interesting but whilst the regs state from floor, the activity is being carried out from inside the bath so maybe much higher. Does that make a difference?
Strangely, no - as far as the regs are concerned (don't ask me!). The only thing which makes a difference to the zones is if a shower head is more than 2.25m above floor level.Interesting but whilst the regs state from floor, the activity is being carried out from inside the bath so maybe much higher. Does that make a difference?
