Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Kilburn and Richmond is near Turnham Green. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 13 minutes; Willesden Junction 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.
