Put right electric cable to outside door light

Alternatively, I have a socket next to the bay window. I could drill out of the bay and run a cable up the wall from there. It would be powered by a normal socket in the front room then. Would that work?

Yep, you could do that yourself easily (please, use flex) :)
 
Long story short m8 is if you really do want to chase it:

1. Press the test button on right hand switch.in Fuseboard and then make sure it has killed that socket.
2. Reset the switch in Fuseboard and check to see if it says anywhere on the front of it 30ma

If both of these are a yes then chase it. The vertical chase would technically not be legal but you will know its there and never put a nail through it ;)

Test button kills the socket and there is 30mA Trip on the fuseboard

So guess I'm ok to channel in and the horizontal part needs to be within 150mm of the ceiling, can you confirm the depth and should it go behind Galvanised Steel Channel

Since it's on an RCD just go to plaster-depth and cover with plastic capping. You could use steel to protect it but it's not required.
 
Regs wise it doesn't need capping at all.

Just good working practise
