Any advice for choosing a radiator for a bedroom landing?
The only position I could place the radiator would be along the
horizontal bannister (only term I can come up with)..the section that
runs along the landing. It is 2.1m in length.

Or is a radiator in this area a waste of money?

I don't see why you'd need a radiator on the landing if you have one
in the hall beneath.

FWIW we have removed several radiators, actually electric baseboard heaters,
from our stair landing and hallways. In fact the 1500 watt unit in our front
hall has been disconnected all winter due to an as yet incomplete wiring
changeover in the basement! I'm going to respray it before reinstalling and
reconnecting.
Tonight temp. is presently minus 6 Celsius.
Ergo you may not need the radiator at all.

On a normal two storey house I'd expect an adequate sized rad on the
ground floor to heat the first floor landing too.

Before the recent wonderful world of new boiler and TRVs, we used to keep
the rads in the three bedrooms shut off. Leaving the bedroom doors open,
the heat from the rad on the landing was sufficient to take the chill off
the bedrooms but making them just warm enough to provide a cool and pleasant
environment for sleeping. Now, with the newly-fitted TRVs everything is much
more even with little or no temperature gradient between a hot landing and a
cool bedroom, and to be honest, the landing rad is hardly justified. YMMV.

You like getting up to a cool bedroom? Sounds more like a torture to me.;-)

Same here coming from Aberdeen, where the house was heated by one coal
fire. Which was not kept on overnight. So ice on the inside of the windows
was common in winter.

Hence I now like to wake up to a warm bedroom. I've done my penance. :-)

Pahh! We had that in our house in Kent! My dad said it provided extra
insulation.

I like to sleep with a window always open to compensate for my wife's
insistence on keeping her side of the electric blanket on! (Cause &
effect is definitely that way round ;-)
