Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Finsbury Park and Tooting is near Victoria. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 4 minutes; Stockwell 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 Stockwell, the longer trip back taking about 23 minutes.
