SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Addis Ababa to London. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Addis Ababa and London lies at approximately 31.6687°N, 23.8861°E — the position that is an equal 2,949 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, London (Europe/London) is 2 or 3 hours behind Addis Ababa (Africa/Addis_Ababa), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
