Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Finsbury Park and Greenwich is near Whitechapel. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 1 minute; Bank 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 Farringdon
- on a Saturday evening Whitechapel
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from Bank, the longer trip back taking about 31 minutes.
