When should Going-Around be called?

Hi,

Any UK/LHR Air Traffic Controllers care to help on a tech question from a dumb pilot?

Scenario;

LHR 27L, approach discontinued by pilots due low vis./nil contact at decision altitude.

When should the Going-Around call be made to ATC?

a) As soon as possible after aircraft safely climbing away workload permitting.
b) At initial level-off altitude
c) Anytime, ATC will call if special instructions

I know my answer is a) but prepared to be corrected.

ATB,
