It is the quickest route (honestly). Jubilee to green park then Piccadilly. I do it quite often.

On the Baron's Court vs Hammersmith debate: if there's no Picc train waiting/pulling in as you get to Baron's Court, or you see a Picc train leaving as you arrive on your District train, stay on the District as there's a fair chance that the District train will catch up on the way to Hammersmith. (I've often been on one or the other between those two stations and the District has a higher top speed which more than makes up for the slower acceleration and the fact it's on the outside of the bend there.) In addition lots of people will alight from the Picc at Hammersmith. On the other hand, if there's a Picc train at Baron's Court, change there as no one will get in your way on the platform and you should be able to get a seat at Hammersmith.
Apologies if this is now too much detail!

But it isn't a cathedral. It is a Royal Peculiar,.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Monarch, not abishop. No bishop, no bishops chair [=cathedra], so not a cathedral.
The it is a city because it has a cathedral/university rule has so many exceptions, it is not very useful.
The next step would be for someone to explain why the british think 'old money' is less confusing than decimalised currency
Generally I don't here anyone talk about Westminster as 'city' , just 'Westminster'
On the OP - I would second the walk to Green Park, then Picadilly line.

And it is quite close to me so that I sometimes see it when walking around.

Unless, of course, you telephone the Council Tax office. Where you will not only hear it referred to as the Borough, but the Borough of Westminister.
