Did you mean here

and

Presumably you drove into Bagleys Lane from Harwood Terrace?

I think that yiou have a case based on lack of advance signage.
The 1st GSV link above shows the base of what might be a relevant sign, but given the abundance of foliage there is absolutely no way of knowing.

Post yr draft reps here for comment and use e-mail rather than their online form.

Title: Entering a restricted road in London
Post by: j4g3d on September 04, 2025, 08:10:35 pm
Driving for 20+ years but a new driver in London (i dont live there) as i needed some surgery done.

A camera has caught me entering a restricted road at 6am and wanted to know if i have a case with this one. We have nothing of the sort that ive come across in the UK, and i've never come across such restrictions in my entire life until i entered London that day.

Date of alleged offence: 22/08/2025
Date of this notice 1/09/2025
Date the notice arrived 3/09/2025
Location: Hammersmith and fulham

Reason the notice was given: Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (m) motor vehicles

My reason why its not justified: Its impossible to read the sign on entry of this road. I have attached a picture of the road i was on and the restriction notice is the left turning ahead.

Please advise if I have a case?
