Where could we fit a dishwasher?

We're desperate for a dishwasher, but our kitchen is tiny. Where could we fit one? Underneath the boiler? It wouldn't be deep enough though because of the pipes...

I have a counter top dishwasher originally used below the sink in my mothers house, it was low enough to fit under the trap for the sink. There are also narrow ones. The down side is full size or reduced still uses one dishwasher tablet per wash, so costs more to wash dishes.

My dishwasher is a bosch and is about 450mm wide.
It's classified as slimline integrated, I had a couple of issues getting room at the rear but got it in to my kitchen.
I'd built the kitchen around an earlier non integrated and had to relocate the drain pipe.

If there is room below the boiler it could go there?
either integrated or not.
You can add a dishwasher outlet to a sink U bend (afaik?) but ideally an extra drain pipe is better

The depth required to fit a slimline dishwasher is 650mm - but you may get away with slightly less.
Unfortunately looking at your pics it would seem the water supply and drainage are on the other side

We fitted a Bosch 450mm Dishwasher in 2007 when we refitted the kitchen, it worked fine for us as a 2 adult household and was fine when we had family round.
We moved out in 2017 and it was still going OK
