Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Brixton and Finsbury Park is near Temple. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 14 minutes; Warren Street 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 Euston
- on a Saturday evening Oxford Circus
