Why not the actual midpoint?

The geographic midpoint of Putney and Wimbledon is near East Putney. It is a reasonable option too — but Fulham Broadway 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.
