Suspect it's a combination of under-specced (but nice looking) radiators, high ceilings, massive heat sink of non-insulated end of terrace wall and cheapo, ill fitting double glazing.
Living room has a couple of these. They're about 750mm

We have one rad like that in our loft room and it does fuck all. Despite getting really, really hot.
Looks nice though.
Suspect the effectiveness of a rad is inversely proportional to its aesthetics.

How big is the room these rads are in? The rad looks tiny, and won't hold a candle to a bog standard double-panel double-convector type 22 rad of equivalent size.
Worth ditching for suitable rads, for an immediate boost in efficiency.

Are your rads like really shit / underspecified? Or does the boiler not have the juice to do it?
At a 60deg flow temp we can get our really shitty drafty / leaky combined back room and extension up to temp (19-20) in a couple of hours with a 30kw boiler and two double panel 2500mm modern rads. We are not end of terrace though.
