Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Greenwich and Wimbledon is near Brixton. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 10 minutes; Westminster 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 Green Park
Getting home
