Dear Sirs

I am writing this email due to an accident that occured on a pavement located on Warwick Road not far from the Earl's Court Tube station entrance.

I left the tube station and turned left. I was walking with my partner at around 10pm in the evening. I didn't notice a hole in the pavement as it was cast under a shadow from a nearby tree. I tripped and lost my balance cutting my left hand knee and shin . I was in quite a lot of pain and shock. I received first aid treatment at my hotel. I was visiting London for my birthday - the day of the incident. As a result of my injuries I was unable to enjoy the rest of my trip.

I was wearing flat walking boots at the time of the incident as I had been walking and exploring London that day. We had been returning to our hotel after seeing a show.

The hole in the pavement is in urgent need of repair before someone else suffers an injury. I attach relevant photos of the location, hole and my initial injuries. I am still recovering and my wounds are healing. I do not fully know the extent of my injuries as my knee is still swollen.

I have been told by the council to contact you as you are responsible for this pavement

I look forward to your prompt response.
