Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Clapham and Finsbury Park is near Holborn. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 12 minutes; Victoria 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 Warren Street
- on a Saturday evening Stockwell
