The options, ranked
| Meet at | From Bermondsey | From Clapham |
|---|---|---|
| London Bridge | 18 mindirect | 20 mindirect |

Only places within reach of both are listed — anything meaningfully worse than London Bridge is left off rather than padded in.
Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bermondsey and Clapham is near Oval. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 11 minutes; London Bridge 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.
Where the answer changes
- if you both want the fastest trip Waterloo
- on a Saturday evening Kennington
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from London Bridge, the longer trip back taking about 17 minutes.
