Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Bethnal Green and Kilburn is near Mornington Crescent. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 8 minutes; Bond Street 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.

Both of you can still get the last train home from Bond Street, the longer trip back taking about 25 minutes.
