Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Finsbury Park and Kilburn is near Hampstead Heath. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 6 minutes; Camden Town 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 Highbury & Islington
- at lunchtime on a weekday Green Park
- on a Saturday evening Baker Street
