Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Richmond and Tooting is near East Putney. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 15 minutes; Victoria 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 Victoria, the longer trip back taking about 37 minutes.
