SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for London to Lagos. 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 Lagos 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, Lagos (Africa/Lagos) is on the same time as or 1 hour ahead of London (Europe/London), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
London uses the Pound Sterling (GBP), while Lagos uses the Nigerian Naira (NGN). Both share English as a primary language.
