"No person shall in the ground, after being requested to desist by an officer of the Council, or by any person annoyed or disturbed, or by any person acting on his behalf:
(a) by shouting or singing;
(b) by playing on a musical instrument; or
(c) by operating or permitting to be operated any radio, gramophone, amplifier, tape recorder or similar instrument;
cause or permit to be made any noise which is so loud or so continuous or repeated as to give reasonable cause for annoyance to other persons in the ground."

Bexley has no such provision but you might fall foul of the rules on 'erecting tents, booths, etc':

In the Royal Parks, you need the Secretary of State's permission to do just about anything ;-)
