    Do I have to place my boiler on the external wall of my kitchen?
    Is there any other option? E.g. utility room ( no external wall) ?
    Any creative alternatives?

    External wall and flue straight out through the wall.
    You also have a condenser pipe to worry about that discharges hot water.

    This needs to go to a fouls drain, a soak pit or piped internally to a asteroid pipe.

    What about under a kitchen counter top?

    I moved into a new bills and the boiler is outside in a small well insulated shed.

    Great to have it outside and have more space in the kitchen.

    I don't think it's the cheapest option however!
