SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Lagos 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 Lagos and London lies at approximately 29.0267°N, 2.0285°E — the position that is an equal 2,506 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 1 hour behind or on the same time as Lagos (Africa/Lagos), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
Lagos uses the Nigerian Naira (NGN), while London uses the Pound Sterling (GBP). Both share English as a primary language.
