I live in student flats in central London where space is quite
restricted.

I have a rather large bedroom.

My tumble dryer is a compact model made by Zanussi (it's this model:
http://www.johnlewis.com/Home+and+Ga...3/Product.aspx
)

It's extremely small. (It's really really tiny). I only use it once a
week (so I can unplug it when it's not in use)


Would it be safe to keep it in the bathroom? Are there any waterproof
covers that I can buy (From homebase/B&Q

Also, it would be nice to have the covering conceal what it actually
is (so people don't know it's a dryer without lifting the sheets up)

depends what zone its in. In zone 3 it would be ok. If space is short,
why not sell it and get a dehumidifier

In germany many people have their washing machines in the bathroom.
There was one in mine and there never was any problem.

I have no idea why you think it might be a fire risk.

Keep it or use it?

It would be permitted to install it there, provided it is in zone 3,
or outside the zones, fed from a switched fused connection unit also
in zone 3 or outside the zones and a few other things. Is the
bathroom that large?

Possibly. Or you could make one/make a box.

Alternatively, why burn electricity to dry clothes? Why not use a
clothes airer? These range from floor standing models to ones that
go into the ceiling such as

As with a tumble drier you will need to deal with the moist air.

Different cultural norms. In the UK electricity in the bathroom is
seen as dangerous, elsewhere clothes washing chemicals and dirty
clothes in the kitchen is seen as dangerous.
