Default Comet Swan & UK?

Is Come Swan visible from the UK, if so where & when (roughly)?


It's above the left-hand side of the northern crown, slightly north of
west at around 8pm. I couldn't see it with the naked eye, but it was
easy to find with binoculars, looking like a green smudge.
Suprisingly it was even less impressive through my telescope - a plain
white fuzzy ball, no tail visible.

But if I could see it at all in light-polluted hazy Edinburgh it
could well be impressive anywhere it gets dark.
