Qibla from London
The Kaaba in Makkah is 4,790 km from London along the shortest path. Face east-south-east, a bearing of about 119 degrees measured clockwise from true north. A magnetic compass reads magnetic north, so correct it for the local declination; see how to find the Qibla.
At this latitude the summer nights are short and the sky may never become fully dark, so Fajr and Isha use the share-of-the-night rule on some dates; check with your local mosque which convention it follows.
