Well let me see....YOU WOULD STILL END IN YOUR GARDEN....
Lets see,if you had the technology(and the time) to drill through to the centre of earth, practically you would never cross it...The molten lava would melt you and your drill...So scientifically speaking you wouldnt end anywhere on the surface of earth except the core of earth or back to your garden...
DO ONE THING DRILL A SMALL HOLE and PUT SOME FLOWERS IN IT....IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER FOR YOUR GARDEN ;-)

Obviously you can't dig a hole through the center of the earth, but if you could.....
To answer your question, get a GPS and go out into the garden and find out what your latitude and longitude are. Then add 180 degrees to the longitude if it is negative OR subtract 180 degrees from the longitude if it is positive. Change the sign (from + to - OR from - to +) on the latitude. Your new coordinates will show you where you would end up if you dig a hole straight through the earth.
Have fun digging! If you meet a man in a red cape with a goatee, apoligize politely and then fill the hole back up as fast as you can. :)

Probably in prison if you don't have planning permission or flat broke from buying all the equipment but if you could get 12,000 miles of pipes and get passed the core and drill all the way out the other side probably middle of the Pacific ocean Good luck as the deepest hole is only 5 or 6 miles only 11,994 to go

In a big hole in your garden in Hertfordshire. Theoretically, you'd come out somewhere in the South Pacific, but in reality, you'd never really drill that far would you?

Technically you would still be standing in your garden in Hertfordshire, but the drill bit would be going deeper in the ground.

You would end up sleeping in your garden in Hertfordshire, very tired from all that drilling.

In trouble, as you don't own the ground all the way down to the center of the earth. It is Crown Property ( not to be confused with Royal Property) ie Government Mineral Rights.

Probably splattered all over Hertfordshire when you rupture the gas mains!
If you mean the other side of the world, probably the Pacific ocean!

probably in Jail, unless you have a permit to drill. if you do have permission, you'll end down the bottom of a well in Hertfordshire.

I assume that you are trying to dig through to the other side. As you went deeper gravitational forces would reduce, consequently, you would eventually fall back out of the hole. Even if that wasn't the case, toxic gases and temperature increase would kill you.
