Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Peckham and Richmond is near Clapham Junction. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 20 minutes; Earls Court 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 Earls Court, the longer trip back taking about 41 minutes.
