Any of the places marked with a red circle on your pretty picture Mark. However, if like mine, the jacking pad is missing from the front crossmember, DON'T jack on it!

As for axle stands, most places similar, you can see when you're under the car the chassis/floorpan is reinforced with extra metal around the jacking outriggers, you can usually find somewhere to fit an axle stand on them.

On the back end, if yours is an estate you'll have a live axle (no halfshafts as in the picture) so you can jack under the diff and then use axle stands on the axle, preferably as far to the outside as possible for stability.

If the wheels are coming off for whatever you're doing, put the wheel under the hub you've removed it from with the outside of the wheel up, if you don't have space to do that placeit as near as possible under the closest jacking point so that if for whatever reason the axle standa fails, slips or whatever, you still have some vital room to get yourself out.

Lastly, if you're only removing one wheel at a time, don't forget to chock the diagonally opposite wheel!
