Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Ealing and Notting Hill is near Wood Lane. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 3 minutes; London Paddington 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.
