In a bathroom where a globe light is in the zone that requires cross bonding from the lighting circuit, the regs say that the earth should come from the near vicinity. Being that there is not good access to the lighting circuit (it's a flat), would it be OK to take the earth from a lightswitch in an adjacent room?

I guess you are talking about supplmentary Equipotential Bonding, The requirement is to bond together any exposed extraneous conductive parts so that they are all at the same potential as each other. ie if there is just a globe light fitting in the room within the zone(and its allowed) then you would supplementray bond it via the cpc of that circuit (could be at the fitting or the switch) preferably within the room or as close as possible, to any other conductive parts ie pipes, rad etc, assuming they are on a copper pipe installation. see ONSG section 4.5. I hope this helps
