Where is the shower isolating valves normally placed so that it is
easily accessible at a later date for maintenance? The pipework for my
shower will all be under the floor and in a partition wall so I can't
think where to put it.

What kind of shower?

Tank outlet if all else fails.

Sorry, it's an electric shower fed straight off the mains. There is
already an isolating valve on the main pipe that feeds the shower but
that also feeds the bath, washbasin etc., and I think a separate
isolating valve is necessary for the shower.

How many valves? You start with plural then drop to singular. The obvious
is answer is where they are accessible...
Tank outlet if all else fails.
Or behind an accessible and removeable access panel.

I have the pipework for mine emerging from the wall under the bath,
where there are isolating valves which you access by removing the
bath panel (actually, hinging it up in this case, as it hangs on
hinges from a piece of 3x2).

We already had one under the bath, behind the bat panel, but I added a
second even more accessible one next to the shower, one of those chrome
1/4 turn with a screwdriver ones.
