Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Notting Hill and Putney is near Fulham Broadway. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 7 minutes; High Street Kensington 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 Earls Court
- at lunchtime on a weekday Earls Court
- on a Saturday evening Earls Court
