Yes.
However, the bulb should be >2.25m above the floor OR 600mm. from a vertical line at the edge of the bath or shower.
I like these, you may not.

Depends where in the bathroom as you have different zones and if it is in a certain zone needs to be a certain kind of light ip65 for instance.

Water and electric does not mix so don't be silly and think ahhh that will be ok.

That link is not particularly helpful - nor correct.
Underlined not really correct.
There is no zone associated with a basin.
The OP wants to fit a pendant so my advice is all he needs to consider.

It's not a pendant...I like these, you may not.
More pendantry. 
No, that just was my suggestion. Better than a pendant in a bathroom.

Dunno about now but in the 15th, you used to have to fit a HO skirt.
Haven't fitted a pendant set in a bathroom since 1990.

Is that an Australian crystal ball?I like these, you may not.
I'm still thinking about your passive stack.
Dunno. I'll look into it.Is that an Australian crystal ball?
only 49 minutes
51 now ???
As securespark has already implicated, you don't want a pendant in a bathroom.
(I imagine moisture could run down the flex into the lampholder too.)
A skirted battenholder is far better, and was the norm for bathrooms once.
(A pendant looks ridiculous in a bathroom.)
As someone else mentioned, check the 'zones' before doing anything.

Ha ha, obviously I meant a standard pendant.
Is the fitting in the pic as near to bath as it looks?
Dunno.
But it looks further away than this one:
I wonder where the plumbing for that bath is?
