The options, ranked
| Meet at | From Fulham | From Hackney |
|---|---|---|
| Victoria | 18 mindirect | 29 min1 change |

Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Fulham and Hackney is near Leicester Square. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 2 minutes; Victoria 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 want it as even as possible Oxford Circus
