Under the floorboards near the fireplace seems a favourite round here.
Requires taking out the fitted bookcases and lifting the lounge carpet.

That thought did occur to me (the flow and return for the rads appears
about a foot off the floor on the side of the chimney and then go
straight down into the floor. It was also close to where I could feel
some vibration and hear the pump noise. I just seemed like a PITA place
to put it! (still probably better than in the fireplace with the boiler
- since you would have to dismantle half the fire/boiler to get at it.

You may need to go a-hunting with a stethoscope

Luckily the old engineering adage of "it works better when plugged in"
fixed it on this occasion. Someone else can do it if the pump does turn
its toes up ;-)
