probably take you 45 minutes. make sure you will have a parking space as parking in that area is a nightmare.

There are un-metered parking places within 10/15 minutes walk of BJ, but at this time of year even that is a bit much!

From BJ on the road towards Trade Centre/SZR there is a waste area between Spinneys and the Union Co-op supermarket. Also side streets at the back of the Co-op.

Within the Consulate area, there are waste areas near the Lebanese Embassy.

I would get somewhere in Satwa or Mankhool. You will soon get sick of that journey
