Why not the actual midpoint?
The geographic midpoint of Richmond and Wimbledon is near East Putney. Meeting there costs whoever is travelling furthest an extra 14 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.
