The options, ranked
| Meet at | From Clapham | From Wimbledon |
|---|---|---|
| Victoria | 19 min1 change | 29 mindirect |
| South Kensington | 28 min2 changes | 25 mindirect |
| Clapham Junction | 19 mindirect | 35 min1 change |
| Sloane Square | 26 min2 changes | 27 mindirect |
Only places within reach of both are listed — anything meaningfully worse than Victoria is left off rather than padded in.
Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Clapham and Wimbledon is near Tooting Bec. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 24 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.
