This gives you the options for various types of fitments. It looks like there are electrical regulations though. A ceiling fan must have an external vent by the looks of it.
Your best option may be a window fan?:

This may give you other options (I've not read it):

Can't you vent it through the wall?

difficult as half the width of the room is tiled where the water pipes come down and the other half is a window it could go above the window but i was hoping for something less obtrusive like this ,

Have a look in the loft and see if the soffit can be accessed to vent the fan.

When I lived in a mid terrace I put an in line fan in the loft. This had a flexible pipe from a grill on the ceiling to the fan, than another flexible pipe off to the external grill, which I placed on the soffit.
