Everything mjt has said makes perfect sence to me and is the way I understand restriction sign to apply too.
Parking sign ...

No! If it meant that, there shouldn't be a black line! That's all they need to do to fix it! Oh god! I'm gonna drive down there tomorrow with some tippex.
Well you clearly don't, and thanks for the insult.
What convention is this then?
I think you'll find it's to prevent people parking there at the specified time.
Because the stupidity on display in this thread has filled me with consternation.

What in gods name are you talking about? That is how restriction signs have always been. Not hard is it, a title telling you the restriction, then a list of what times the restriction applies.
There's only one way to sort this out. Please will someone drive down there and park at random times of the day with a loaf of Hovis on the roof (for picture evidence naturally) and then appeal against the parking ticket. It's the only way to be sure

Well from the perspective of somone unfamiliar with london signage i read it as...
Parking here is ONLY allowed if you have a permit.
As for the 11am-noon thing.... god knows what that means... you cant park there between those times? or you can only park there between those times?
EDIT:
After asking the mrs we decided it means, permit holders can park at any time / non permit holders can park between the hours specified.
If it doesnt mean that then its clearly confusing signage, as its confused both of us who have been driving well over 15 years each!

I think this is it, although a rather obtuse way of doing it. The 1 hour restriction is so the wardens can just blitz the area 11-12. You see these restictions around underground stations to stop people leaving their car there all day.
