Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Finsbury Park and Notting Hill is near Camden Town. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 14 minutes; Oxford Circus 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 Oxford Circus, the longer trip back taking about 21 minutes.
