Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Clapham and Ealing is near Barons Court. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 12 minutes; Green Park 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.
