Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Brixton and Notting Hill is near Sloane Square. It is a reasonable option too — but Oxford Circus still edges it on journey time, which is what actually decides how long you each spend travelling. London's transport map is not its geography: the Thames splits it, and half the Tube lines don't cross it.
