@onais: I will deal with this for you personally as the PCN is flawed.

Correct, I must've missed the sign. I can't remember if there was any bus and my navigation had ended because I reached my destination - I was just looking for parking unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply. I made a right turn into the road from Walworth Road into Larcom Street.

So it seems you missed the sign. Were you following any high-sided vehicles, or DD-buses just before the turn ?
Also were you following satnav ?

There are advance warning signs on both approaches to the turn: -

and

The signs are rather small, and would be obscured by buses. Did you make a right turn or left turn ?

Hi everyone,

I would appreciate some advice on a moving traffic Penalty Charge Notice I recently received from Southwark Council.

Location: Ethel Street & Larcom Street
Google Street View Link (https://maps.app.goo.gl/CWBWGkz7hYV5KATG7?g_st=ac)
Contravention: 52 m - Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (Motor vehicles)
Date & Time of Contravention: 15/08/2026 at 17:27
Date of Notice: 19/08/2026
PCN Number: JK20237655
Vehicle Registration (VRM): LN68VDD
PCN Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HWxBaga4_Kb5EJ16OGalTElSlgLenfXu)

Could anyone advise if there are any known issues with the signage at this specific junction? I would also appreciate it if the experts could review the wording of the PCN to identify any technical flaws that could render it invalid.
