As far as I'm aware the same parking restrictions apply on the pavement as on the carriageway, so double yellows on the road means no parking on the pavement too. So even if you leave "ample space", if there's restrictions on the high street (and there will be) you can still get done.
Also you're not allowed to park on a verge or footway but that isn't often enforced where I live, luckily!

The only time you may get away with parking on the pavement, I think, is if it is the forecourt of a shop you are visiting and the area is owned by the shop (and they give you permission). Often the first few feet of pavement outside the shop are owned by the shop and you may get away with cosily tucking your bike up there.
Otherwise, as already stated, you cannot park on the pavement at all unless specifically told you may.

when my daughter was in the Bristol children's hospital after a major op in 07, I took my bike as someone had to be with her 24 hours a day so me and the wife took 12 hours shifts. i parked on the path in from of the hospital doors (well 10 feet away) and hospital workers and everyone were doing this every day.
