SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for London to Luanda. 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 Luanda lies at approximately 21.4610°N, 8.1108°E — the position that is an equal 3,417 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, Luanda (Africa/Luanda) 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.
