How do I turn off an old fashioned radiator?

I want to turn my radiators off. They are old ones (UK). There is a pipe on each side and a valve at the top. The right one is bigger and won't turn. The left will turn but doesn't seem to do anything. Any help welcome. Thanks x


You need to remove the cap on the valve that doesn't turn off, and turn it off with a wrench or spanner. Turn it clockwise to close it.
