I showed the picture to my 17 y.o. daughter and she said, " that's in the shower! Isn't that rather stupid and dangerous!" She doesn't know the NEC but even she knew that was a bad place for the panel.

Being that I only do electrical work, I usually do not speak out of my trade. Like many tradesmen, I work with the other trades often. I will say that if it's outta my trade and looks funny, it probably is. These observations are even more pronounced when the general public is questioning an application.

When I got my house, the 240 for the dryer ran through the shower stall right next to the water pipe; in one side along the back wall and out the other. That didn't stay long.

This type of installation is great for generating future work for, medical techs,doctors, nurses, the morgue, funeral homes,cemetaries. They all have to work too, don't they?

BTW- Service disconnects cannot be located in bathrooms of any location, but subpanels can be located in bathrooms of other than dwellings, guest rooms of hotels or motels.

To British eyes this installation is beyond belief. I don't think even the worst d.i.y.er here would allow a panel to be fitted/remain in or adjacent to the shower enclosure. We have very stict rules (BS 7671 Section 601) on locations containing a bath or shower. Not that they are always followed to the letter, particularly by d.i.y. sparks. However, most homeowners are well aware that standard 13A socket outlets (receptacles) & consumer units (panels) are not permitted to be installed in bathrooms. Also installing wall mounted light switches in bathrooms is very restricted, usually ceiling pull cord switches are used or a wall switch is mounted outside the bathroom door.
