Please email me "a special enforcement area more than 50 cm from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking place" within London.
Clarification received 22/04/2022: To clarify, What I'm looking for are the list of records held by Transport for London(TFL) within London which operates without Road signage where the TFL applies and allowed by law to send a ticket or PCN within City of London.

“To clarify, What I'm looking for are the list of records held by Transport for London(TFL) within London which operates without Road signage where the TFL applies and allowed by law to send a ticket or PCN within City of London”..
As I understand it your request asks where it is possible for TfL to issue a Penalty Charge Notice for a vehicle parked more than 50cm from the edge of the carriageway.The entire Transport for London Road Network (TLRN - sometimes referred to as the ‘red routes’) is designated as a special enforcement area for this purpose. Maps of the TLRN can be found on the TfL website here:
Note that the TLRN only makes up about 5% of London’s roads. The majority of roads are under the management of local boroughs.
