With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Piercer sighting in London on a given day, based on 125 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 319th most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Piercer in London on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Piercer is recorded against all the insects logged in London (125 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
