Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bermondsey and Walthamstow is near Homerton. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 7 minutes; Highbury & Islington 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 want it as even as possible Green Park
- at lunchtime on a weekday King's Cross St. Pancras
- on a Saturday evening King's Cross St. Pancras
