this type of residential road is quite common in london, however i’m not sure what to tag it as. it has a centerline, but is effectively a single lane
If I was tagging this I would put lanes=2 without thinking twice.
The question reminds me of How to tag *unusable* sidewalks? where I would have also said there is a sidewalk on both sides of the road (the physical infrastructure) even if it’s unusable on a typical day.

Whichever lane tags you choose at the end (I have no preference) - width specifications seem more important to me here. So it’s best to also specify width (from curb to curb) and parking:both=lane, because the usable width can be easily derived from this.
(If you decide for lanes=2, consider also width:lanes).
It looks like they put parking lanes without removing centreline paint.
I would tag lanes=1 as there is single car-width lane.
I would also notify local government about confusing lanes on roads.
Disclaimer: not from London or UK. Maybe this has some meaning? You may want to ask talk-gb mailing list for their opinion.

I see
- cars parked in both directions i.e. oneway=no
- 1/3rd from the right end there’s kind of a table, speed bump, exhaust wrecker.
- The signs at the street entrances would be of interest v.v. priority, living street maybe, give and take.
- narrow=yes on street.

IIRR only lanes wide enough for double tracked vehicles are counted, so it is maybe lanes=0? 
or lanes=2 if you count the space always occupied by parked vehicles to the lane.
