Rads should be placed at the coldest spot in the room to maximise convection efficiency. Usually that means under the windows. Trying to create a heat sink by placing your rads on internal walls is a waste of time.

Hi Gordanus, we had the same problem. A few years ago while refurbing the builder put a protruding wooden ledge all around the bay window and I made new curtains fit. These lie on the ledge about 2" behind the rim. The builder told me that the reason that rads were under windows was that in the old days, the cold air dropping down from the single pane of glass would heat and so start a thermal current. Makes sense.
