Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Greenwich and Stratford is near All Saints. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 6 minutes; Canary Wharf 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 Canary Wharf, the longer trip back taking about 24 minutes.
