Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Dalston and Hampstead is near Caledonian Road. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 9 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.
Getting home
Both of you can still get the last train home from Euston, the longer trip back taking about 18 minutes.
