Anyway, when's the best time to see it at the mo.?

Maximum elongation is 23rd. Any evening between now and then go out around sunset (or even just before) and look west and find Jupiter (still pretty bright). Mercury is a couple of degrees above it.

Yes, follow DP's advice to see it. You do need a good cloud free western horizon. The colours are difficult to get right - due to atmospheric dispersion the planet flashes all the colours of the rainbow when viewed on the screen.....
