Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Ealing and Greenwich is near Sloane Square. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 9 minutes; Farringdon 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 Canary Wharf
- at lunchtime on a weekday Whitechapel
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from Farringdon, the longer trip back taking about 28 minutes.
