However, it will all depend upon the time of day, and the type of
vehicle you are driving (you are not allowed to take commercial
vehicles or vehicles with adverts through the royal parks) as this
will affect the route.


I thought that the no adverts rule in the Parks had been lifted some
time ago? Ids that not the case? Or is an exception just made for
taxis?


Exception made just for taxis. I believe there is also an exception for
vehicles that are delivering / working in the royal parks.

Strangely enough taxis are not allowed to 'ply for hire' (i.e. stand
with the light on) but can pick up if hailed !
