Where to see the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in ED?

[Sue]

Sadly I think it's going to be cloudy, but assuming it miraculously clears, does anybody know where would be a good place to see the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction today?

Visible 4.30 - 6pm at 15 degrees above the south west horizon.

I'm kicking myself because apparently it was visible yesterday too and it was a clear sky 😭

The only place in East Dulwich I can think of with a reasonable view to the South West is on the back part of One Tree Hill towards Honor Oak Park.

The expert on the Today programme this morning said it will be low above the horizon - she suggested 2 finger widths (like whisky measure!). They will be visible over the next couple of weeks, slowly distancing from each other in the next few days or so.

Thanks both. Oops I forgot all about it tonight 🙄

They were clearly visible yesterday in Belair Park, just after dusk.

Does the park not close then?
