Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Tooting and Walthamstow is near London Bridge. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 8 minutes; Green Park 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 Stockwell
- at lunchtime on a weekday Oxford Circus
- on a Saturday evening Victoria
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from Green Park, the longer trip back taking about 32 minutes.
