It was raining, so I set my tripod up under a covered part [outside] at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, by the main vista only to told that tripods are not allowed on Observatory grounds; you have to move over to the park area.
The only reference I found about the use of tripods was regarding using them in the Caird Library at the Maritime Museum Greenwich.
Is there any such a bylaw at the Observatory?

Not sure about the observatory, but it's a common practice for tripods to be banned in tourist-y places. They interrupt the flow of traffic, provide a tripping hazard, and just generally take up what may be limited space.

It can't be a by-law, as it's private property; it can only be a 'management decision' & frankly they can be as capricious as they like.
I've been there with a full film crew & 100 movie extras... paying of course for the privilege of being able to set up wherever we needed & keep the public out while we did so.
In the end, it's down to whatever mood whichever security jobsworth you meet is in at the time, & how busy it is where you want to set up [unless you're paying].
I'd have tried the "Ooh, sorry, I didn't know. Can I just get this one shot then I'll be out of your way." approach.
