Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Ealing and Peckham is near Gloucester Road. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 8 minutes; Whitechapel 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.
