I believe you can stop on a double yellow to pickup/dropoff.

But around here it's outside a kebab shop where the worst offenders are. They park up to either get food or possibly even use one of the many barbers on the parade. No pickup/dropoff would mean just that, I guess if you had phoned you order in you could jump out, collect/pay and get off without issue, but not wait for it to get cooked. They also have the habit of parking on the pavement, should be same as London and made illegal.
