Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bermondsey and Peckham is near Peckham Rye. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 11 minutes; Canada Water 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
