For future maintenance, you could add drain cocks at each ground floor

with ones with a drain cock in the tails. This will also allow you
to drain radiators individually in a mess free way for decorating.
I used Pegler Terrier valves for this and can recommend them.

Andy,

I presume you mean this sort of thing?

Is the price of £10.18 + VAT *each* or for a box of 10?

This looks good, but appears to move the connected pipe further away from
the rad - so some pipework changes would be needed in the case of a
retro-fit.

Screwfix do one with the drain at the end, which appears to maintain the
pipe position

Do you know whether this does the same job? [It's not clear from the picture
whether the drain connects to the tail, or only to the external pipe].
