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.
Thanks for the information.

I believe there is also an exception for vehicles that are delivering
/ working in the royal parks.
I believe that there's a time restriction on that (as perhaps you'd
expect).

Strangely enough taxis are not allowed to 'ply for hire' (i.e. stand
with the light on) but can pick up if hailed !
Such are the rules of the Royal Parks Act 1977. A copy of those is
posted at many entrances and can provide unintentional hilarity
sometimes. In particular, "touching a pelican" is forbidden, without
written permission!
