It's about 300mm off the floor

It could it be a metal conduit for a cooker point? Is it open or is it capped off?

It's capped off with what looks like a flat head screw top not a compression fitting

In that case it could be a gas pipe for a cooker bayonet fitting. It could still be live so best not touch it until you get it checked out by a gsr to be safe.
