SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for London to Baku. 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 London and Baku lies at approximately 48.7342°N, 27.5514°E — the position that is an equal 1,985 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, Baku (Asia/Baku) is 3 or 4 hours ahead of London (Europe/London), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
