Try finding out where north is, or try and have an idea of where north is. Consider this to be 12 on a clock. From there go clockwise until you reach 4/5, like you would do on a clock.


That should give you south east, which is normally the direction of the ka'bah from the whole of England. Concession is allowed of about 10 degrees.


You may purchase a compass from most online Islamic shops or Camping stores. If still in doubt, please post back.


Jazak'allah for your question.
