Abstract: It is shown that

(1)
a locally compact convex subset $C$ of a topological vector space that admits a sequence of continuous affine functionals separating points of $C$ affinely embeds into a Hilbert space;
(2)
an infinite-dimensional locally compact convex subset of a metric linear space has a central point;
(3)
every $\sigma $-compact locally convex metric linear space topologically embeds onto a pre-Hilbert space.
