I was thinking of putting some of that 2mm polystyrene roll on the outside
walls before I wallpaper.

Has anyone ever used this before? Does it actually stop condensation? I
have a condensation problem in winter, behind wardrobes, drawers, pictures
etc.

Tried it many years ago on a cold wall, as far as I can remember it was ok
but was easily damaged and was difficult to remove when I re-wallpapered -
it resisted the steam wallpaper stripper, messy to remove (lots of
polystyrene bits everywhere).
You could try using a low power tubular heater at the base of the cold wall
or get cavity wall insulation if applicable.
