Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Notting Hill and Richmond is near Stamford Brook. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 5 minutes; Willesden Junction 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
- at lunchtime on a weekday Hammersmith
- on a Saturday evening Turnham Green
