The options, ranked
| Meet at | From Finsbury Park | From Wimbledon |
|---|---|---|
| Victoria | 18 mindirect | 29 mindirect |
| South Kensington | 26 min1 change | 25 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 Finsbury Park and Wimbledon is near Sloane Square. It is a reasonable option too — but Victoria still edges it on journey time, which is what actually decides how long you each spend travelling. 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 want it as even as possible South Kensington
- at lunchtime on a weekday Earls Court
- on a Saturday evening Gloucester Road
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from Victoria, the longer trip back taking about 30 minutes.
