So? It wouldn't be the only private driveway in London where taxis
can't turn around.

Even if they can't get round in one go, they could presumably do a
three-point turn if necessary.

I'm reminded of the absurd scenes of US Secret Service-men struggling to
do a (circa) fifteen point turn with the Presidential limo in Britain's
most famous cul-de-sac, Downing Street.
