Towards the 'warm-room' is South - over the top of that wall is East.
My house is to the west, and quite close - so I don't have much of a western view - but can see from North, right around East, through to South.
There's quite a big town due South of me, so it's no big deal that the warm room covers the lower part of the sky - that area has horrid skyglow low-down anyway.
