NIP 24mph in a 20

First speeding ticket ever in 19 years of driving. I'm in denial
(of course ;D ) because I am generally a speed-conscious
driver. And I have lived in London since 2006 where it's like an
obstacle course not to get done for something on a daily basis.
Anyway, this seems incredibly draconian - particularly as the
guidelines suggest 10% + 2mph as the start point for prosecution
to avoid constantly prosecuting for minor infringements. This is
so on the edge, do I have any hope of challenging?
With it being the first offence I'll probably get the option of
SAC - and no fine or points.. but I'm still miffed to accept it!

20mph + 10% + 2 = 24
so definitely the first speed to be prosecuted.
you will probably be offered a course.

As you said, enforcement begins at 24mph, so you've seen that
enforcement. It would be somewhat pointless if the police
operated to those guidelines and then accepted "challenges" from
drivers who are recorded at that speed.
You should be offered a course for that speed.
