I assume that you got a Fixed Penalty Notice rather than a Penalty Charge Notice (issued by councils)?
The advice from the RAC on FPNs is as follows:
Can I appeal a Fixed Penalty Notice?
There is no formal appeal process for fixed penalty notices – if you’re not prepared to admit guilt for the alleged offence, the matter will be decided in court.
However, this will be a costly and time-consuming process, so you should think carefully before appealing.
The fines imposed by a court will be greater than the original fixed penalty notice.
If you decide to challenge a fixed penalty notice, you’re advised to seek assistance from a solicitor or the Citizens Advice Bureau.
It is typical for speeders to try and appeal offences - but the fines can then become much more severe. Find out more in our guide to speeding fines.

Someone more legally knowledgeable than me may know better.

Bit pissed off today. Met police chap after the Union St/Newcomen St crossroads with A3, northbound. Pulls me for going through a red, which I was adamant was green. Reviewed the footage once I got to work and its Green the whole way, not even amber.
Anything I can do about this?! He didn't give me a ticket but I want to re-educate the chap because he's pissed me off.
