Is there a recommended/regulation distance a radiator has to be positioned (horizontal distance)away from an electrical wall socket. Advice would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.

no
but it has to be suitable.
I would suggest min 150mm pref 300mm, and positioned so the flex will not contact the hot radiator or pipes (heat shortens the life of insulation)
It is possible to re-position a socket, or spur off it to the side, if the problem is that you have a socket where you want to put a new radiator.
