connect boiler and nest heatlink from the same switched fused spur

My boiler is currently powered by a switched fused spur. The spur is located 40cm underneath the boiler.
I haven't checked but it is probably a 3A fuse.
My boiler is

a Ideal Logic combi ESP1 35 : idealheating.com/.../logic-combi-esp1-installation-and-servicing.pdf

I would like to add a Nest thermostat using the opentherm wiring as described here page 24: https://nest.com/support/images/misc-nest-thermostat-eu/gen3-install/3rd-gen-Nest-Learning-Thermostat-Install-Guide-UK.pdf

The wiring is relatively easy, I just need 230V AC  N + L to power the device and then 2 low voltage wires to the Opentherm on the boiler.

My question is, where do I get the the 230V AC  N + L from ? the easiest way and following the regulation.

Can I get it from the current switched fused spur that powers the boiler ?
if yes, shall I connect the nest heatlink N+L directly from the switched fused spur (load side)   

or 

shall I connect the nest heatlink N+L  directly from the boiler on the MAIN input?

Thanks in advance.

  • I have an identical boiler (the 30kW version) controlled by a Honeywell Home wireless programmer/thermostat.  As you suggest and Andy confirms, both the boiler and thermostat control unit are powered from the fused isolator switch.  Switching off at the switch isolates both the boiler and the control unit.
