If RP is Richmond Park, I believe they do have speed limits which apply to cyclists, don't all royal parks have a cyclist speed limit ?
It's not clear as the law was amended several times and the definitions of 'vehicle' were mixed up:

Most cyclists who will be pushing 30mph+ know they are doing so (and probably have a GPS to tell them how fast they are going).
The cyclists the Police will generally go after (if they do go after them, it depends on the coppers in question) are the ones pushing hard down Sawyer's Hill or Broomfield Hill, especially if they're overtaking cars on the way down. They tend to ignore people freewheeling and not overtaking the cars that are also going their way.
