I'm going to completely disagree with the routes above and suggest
going for the Piccadilly from Earl's Court, as it's much more frequent
and faster than the Circle and District lines. The change at
Paddington also means that the topic starter cannot take any
Hammersmith and City line trains, even though they may very well
provide a faster journey than waiting for a circle line train at
Paddington.

That was why I advised taking the first train to Edgware Road and changing
there if it is a Hammersmith and City. The Piccadilly is much slower and
the time taken to get down to deep level and back can't be ignored either.

Every day I have the choice of taking either the District line or the
Northern Line + NR for my commute, and every time I've gone for the
District I've regretted it. It's just so horribly slow, infrequent and
prone to delays.
I'd even consider just walking from Stamford Bridge to Earl's Court to
avoid the District altogether.

I've used the District, especially the Wimbledon branch, all my life. I
just don't agree with your assessment.
