Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bermondsey and Putney is near Battersea Power Station. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 20 minutes; Green Park 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 Earls Court
- at lunchtime on a weekday South Kensington
- on a Saturday evening South Kensington
