The logical centre and the geometrical centre aren't necessarily
anywhere near each other --- for example, what is generally thought of
as the "city centre" of Cambridge UK is some way west of the crossing
point between the lines between the northmost and southmost, and
westmost and eastmost, points of the outline of the city.

(I tried drawing those lines a few years ago, they crossed in Mill
Road Cemetery, which makes it the "dead centre" of the city ;-) )
