Strictly speaking no vehicle has ANY PARKING RIGHTS on the public highway except in specifically designated areas such as on-street parking metered or otherwise and those domestic areas where you need a local permit to park only given or rather sold to residents. Even a disabled bay marked on the public highway by the local authority is not legal unless there is a plaque on a nearby wall, lamppost etc stating the terms of parking in it. Even then it is not for the exclusive use of the resident nearest to the bay. Any Blue Badge holder can park in it.

Anywhere else you can get booked for obstruction. Not that it happens very often unless it happens to obstruct the free passage of a fire engine, police car or ambulance.
