Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bermondsey and Richmond is near Fulham Broadway (Map ↗). Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 10 minutes; South Kensington is fairer once you count real journey times. London’s transport map is not its geography: the Thames splits it, and half the Tube lines don’t cross it.
