Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bermondsey and Tooting is near Brixton. 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
- if you want it as even as possible Borough
- at lunchtime on a weekday Elephant & Castle
- on a Saturday evening Stockwell
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from London Bridge, the longer trip back taking about 24 minutes.
