Is there a pipe here?

Beg, borrow, or steal a metal detector. One will detect copper pipes if it is plumbed in copper. Plastic plumbing is more difficult.

It’s unlikely, but not impossible. Thermal imaging camera may help or as Harry suggested.
50/50 ... that being said I wouldn't expect a pipe to be there unless there was a hangover from a rad that was previously behind the door.
Good point - what is at the back of the wall?
this is the room the other side (kitchen). The detector went red when put on spot for drilling.

Stick it to the wall instead of drilling the tile, or use a stand-alone type that sits on the floor.

Yes, I think you can hire them.
Some of the Caterpillar android phones have IR cameras.
You can pick up an old S60 for as little as £150 on ebay from time to time.
A "council" employed plumber in my local says his is really useful for finding underfloor heating pipes.

I dont rely on my detectors totally. Seem to beep all the time and you end up thinking you cant drill anywhere
They pick up nails screws and cables too. Basically you search for a possible linear feature.
You mean a straight line in any direction?
