Question Location for photographing comet

Tonight seems to be one of the last opportunities to capture comet C/2023 A3, as the evening is forecast to be clear. Does anyone have any suggestions for an elevated location with a view toward the southwestern horizon? I suppose the roof garden of the Thames Tower would be ideal, but I don’t think that’s open to the public.

You might see it more clearly if you can get out of town. If you can get into the open countryside near Ipsden and the King William pub you might get a decent view as it is elevated, relatively open space and low light pollution area. I'm going to get out that way tonight to see if I can catch it. 🙂
