Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Ealing and Fulham is near Stamford Brook. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 3 minutes; Hammersmith 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 Earls Court
- at lunchtime on a weekday Barons Court
