Slight thread drift but to answer the problem
Lee Baker Street

... with already limited parking for residents and then getting out of their cars and waiting with their luggage to be picked up by taxi and no doubt heading for the airport!
I have seen this elsewhere and it requires concerted effort by the residents. Yes it will take time but here is (briefly) an experience from Watford about 12 years ago.

The local railways station upped their parking charges and, overnight, cars spilled out on to the surrounding streets with people abandoning their cars and walking up to a mile to the station.

We and others, started to document what happend. We took photographs and noted numbers of cars. We showed how they obstructed our driveways and endangered the lives of other road users.

It took a year but we got double yellow lines and notices painted. PM me if you want as the problem you have is even worse, with people leaving their cars for days. Your Council need to be tasked with this. Polite persistence is the key.
