So they can't park on the road and they can't park off it.
Correct.
Are you an awkward sod who thinks he's got a god-given right to park
immediately outside his front door?
Are you the type of awkward sod who wouldn't let people park on the road

If to do so would cause an obstruction, yes. Absolutely. You think that's
a bad thing?

or off it on their own drives

Who's saying that people can't park in their drives? Nobody. This isn't
about whether people can park in their drives or not - but whether they
can park in their front gardens which they'd like to call drives but
haven't actually got vehicular access to.

but expects them to park in the next street?

If that's the nearest, yes.

Or course too bad if the next street is full too with the cars of
people who live in it.

Hiho. Don't like it, don't live in a city. That simple. Or do you think
that absolutely every London resident should be free to park wherever
they like, with no controls or regard to obstruction, in the street they
live in? How's that going to work, then?

I am wondering what legislation allows street parking anyway. I mean,
you can't store other furniture in the street that you can't fit in
your house, so parking cars seems to be a special case, which must be
well defined somewhere.
