Taking Frankie's map (thanks for that mate) and drawing all over it with the practical suggestions, those that would probably come and weighting where multiple people live in a similar area, motorways etc I figure the middle is actually Royal Leamington Spa.

But no one has shown an interest in coming or going anywhere in the UK other than England, then weight it based on who's shown an interest gives you Warwickshire ish.

Leamington Spa is about as far north you can go before requiring Arctic wear.

For centuries Meriden to the west of Coventry held the claim to be the geographical centre of England, and there has been a stone cross there commemorating the claim for at least 500 years. The justification is that the point farthest from the sea is in the vicinity of Meriden. A rival claim for the true location of the centre of England is made by the site of a tree, the Midland Oak, situated on the boundary between Lillington and Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. Morton, Derbyshire also claims to be the centre of England as it is not only midway along England's longest north - south axis but also midway between the East Coast and the Welsh border.

What are the thoughts on Leamington Spa as a location to get to? (Being in the middle of England and easy to get to due to its proximity to the M40).
