I need an additional double wall socket in my living room. Can I drill through the lounge wall to the adjacent bedroom and connect back to back with the existing bedroom socket.

I see no reason not to do it like that.

I have several outlets that are back-to-back.

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

And if you have labels to indicate rooms served on power panel you might want to make a note of it (and on new outlet so you don't assume room breaker kills it).

I have done a couple of back-to-back sockets in my house. And since my walls are concrete I also had to drill/chisel out a hole for the other box---that was definitely the hard part...inserting/wiring-up the box to the freshly dugout concrete hole was the easy part. Guess I could have put a surface mounted box on and just drilled one hole to the other box to run the connecting wires, but I wanted the box flush mounted.

Also check the fuse rating and is it suitable for additional load. Depending on what you're going to use it for!! Also I would be inclined to make sure the proper socket wire has been used before you increase the potential load through existing wiring !
