Not sure if these are our ones (link no longer works) but it's the same retailer we used.

You just need a single type 11 radiator. They are as flat as you can get. Whether a single type 11 will provide the output you need with the pipe distance you have is another matter. If its a very old rad then the size might be imperial so might not be exactly like for like.

We went with these for our first floor because we also wanted flat fronted and are happy with them so far:
https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/maxheat-obla-flat-panel-radiator-ks508fThe aim was basically to get them to disappear into the wall behind as much as possible.
Very similar to the ones @dbr linked to but it's hard to know what the quality is like until they actually arrive and for some reason the photos of radiators online are always crap. These ones come in lots of different sizes which was a consideration as we'll be replacing them in the whole house (they don't just come in 500mm width, there are separate listings for each width).
My plumber confirmed that single convector is fine for upstairs rooms.
If you're going to DIY I can give you tips!

We are going to move and replace an old radiator in our bedroom. Does anyone have any recommendations for a slim (projection from wall) and ideally flat fronted radiator? Online calculator says it should be 2000ish btu but we (I) don't like a hot bedroom so I'm willing to balance output and size.
I went for one of these in the kitchen: https://www.mhsradiators.co.uk/product-item/decoral-97/
Relatively small, high quality, low water content (the radiator is effective and it takes a lower volume of water to get it to temperature, meaning it's faster as well as cheaper to operate), and the builders found it a joy to fit (they called out that everything about it was a pleasure compared to the really cheap ones people tend to buy).
But for me it was just the clean looks, and that it wouldn't be on the floor as they chased the piping into the wall and behind the skirting board which makes sweeping and mopping effortless.
