Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Brixton and Dalston is near Borough. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 12 minutes; Euston 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.
Where the answer changes
- if you both want the fastest trip Highbury & Islington
- at lunchtime on a weekday King's Cross St. Pancras
- on a Saturday evening King's Cross St. Pancras
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from Euston, the longer trip back taking about 18 minutes.
