I see the little misunderstanding here. You seem to be implying that they should not be flying anything at all, while in fact there is a designated area for this specific purpose - as long as they fly under 400ft.
No, I'm not.
I'm saying that, when the OP claimed that Richmond Park is "far outside the airport airspace", he was simply factually wrong.
I'm saying nothoing about what may or may not be flown from there - simply that the statement is cobblers, and trivially proven to be so.
