Where to meet halfway between Battersea and Putney

| Tottenham Court Road | 24 mindirect | 33 min1 change |
| London Paddington | 34 min1 change | 24 mindirect |

Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Battersea and Putney is near Clapham Junction. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 13 minutes; Victoria is fairer once you count real journey times. London's transport map is not its geography: the Thames splits it, and half the Tube lines don't cross it.
