I live in a 2 up 2 down terraced house so only 5 radiators in the house

Kitchen, bathroom, both bedrooms, Living room

Today I installed a new radiator in the bathroom, and bevause they are vertical pipes coming out of the floor, I drained the upstairs radiator and pipework. On the two bedrooms upstairs, I turned the lockshield and TRV valve both off before draining the bathroom radiator (drained via the kitchen radiator as seen on picture below

Before refilling system, I put the bedroom radiators back to their initial setting (trv valve and lockshield).

Every radiator in the house was boiling hot, apart from the kitchen one… it was stone cold and so was the pipework supplying it

The kitchen radiator is below the bathroom

Any idea why my radiator is stone cold?

I have tried bleeding it but there is no air in there, water came straight out of bleed nipple

Thanks
 
Try turning off as many of the other radiators to see what happens - but not all
 
Is the system sealed - pressure gauge and filling loop somewhere/on boiler or are the rads filled by a small cistern in the attic?
