Where to meet halfway between Brixton and Hampstead
The fairest place is Euston — 15 minutes from Brixton and 13 from Hampstead, a difference of 2 minutes. Brixton and Hampstead are 11.3 km apart on the map, which is the part that turns out not to matter.
Euston has 35 pubs and bars, 52 cafés and 43 restaurants nearby — see what's there.
The options, ranked
| Meet at | From Brixton | From Hampstead |
|---|---|---|
| Euston | 15 mindirect | 13 mindirect |
| Warren Street | 14 mindirect | 15 mindirect |
Only places within reach of both are listed — anything meaningfully worse than Euston is left off rather than padded in.
Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Brixton and Hampstead is near Green Park. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 8 minutes; Euston 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
- at lunchtime on a weekday Warren Street
- on a Saturday evening Warren Street
