On a single?
Yup. Though I wasn't even parked on the road itself , I'd parked on a
raised section of tarmac next to the road which then in turn adjoins a
normal pavement. I thought it would be fine there since I wasn't
causing an obstruction to traffic or pedestrians. Obviously not. Oh
well, you live and learn...

Parking restrictions definitely apply to the adjacent pavement as well
as the carriageway.

In London no parking is allowed anywhere on the pavement whether or not
restrictions apply to the carriageway, unless signs specfically permit it.
