The geographic midpoint of Camden and Tooting is near Sloane Square (Map ↗). Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 9 minutes; Kennington 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.
