London Congestion Charge Zone - penalty charge for not going
past the sign?

I was following Waze directions on my journey back from
Greenwich when the satnav told me to take a left onto Harper Rd,
even though I'd set Waze to avoid the CCZ. As soon as I turned
the wheel I realised it was a CCZ road, and I braked to a stop
before turning back onto the main road. I stopped before going
over the C sign on Harper Road, or past the warning signpost. As
I didn't go past the signage and was only a couple of metres
into the road I didn't think that counted as going into the CCZ
so didn't pay the fee. I've now had a penalty charge notice. Do
I have any grounds to appeal?

The photo on the PCN shows you car beside the dotted raised kerb
stones, which are well past the sign and "C" on the road.

Yes, I have to agree, so the OP's recollection of his distance
into the zone is mistaken.

Thank you both, yes I see what you mean. I think I must have
been thinking about another road, and I didn't even notice that
this one was in the zone (looks like cars were parked on the
left over the C on the road).

So, having turned into this road, what did you do next, carry on
down the road ?

I'm really not sure. There was definitely one road that I
briefly turned into and then stopped, as per my original post,
as I had a conversation about it at the time with my daughter
who was also in the car. Having seen the photo on the PCN though
it can't have been this road, as it clearly shows me by the kerb
markers. I can only assume that the PCN is not for the road I
first described but for a 2nd road that I drove all the way up
without even seeing the CCZ signage.
Thanks to everyone who read and responded to my post :)
