Only places within reach of both are listed — anything meaningfully worse than Canada Water is left off rather than padded in.
Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Greenwich and Peckham is near New Cross Gate. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 12 minutes; Canada Water 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.
