Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Fulham and Kilburn is near Notting Hill Gate. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 7 minutes; Shepherd's Bush 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.
