There is an excellent map of the Underground available online. I can
change to the District line at Acton Town, Hammersmith, Baron's
Court, or Earl's Court. I have to be sure to get on a train bound for
Edgware Road.

The only place to change directly to an Edgware Road service is Earls
Court, which involves an escalator (or possibly a lift/elevator).

With luggage you may find it easier to change to the District at
Hammersmith or Barons Court - these are both very simple
cross-platform interchanges. You would then need to change again at
Earls Court, but that is another simple cross-platform interchange
between the District line services.

Then I change again at Notting Hill gate to the Central line, and
get off at Queensway, which is closest to the Byron on Queensborough
Terrace.

You could avoid that by getting off the Edgware Road service at
Bayswater and walking from there - although it doesn't look like it
on the tube diagram, it is actually only about 200 yards from
Queensway:

Bear in mind that you are arriving late - if there is any delay
collecting baggage and you don't get to Edgware Road before midnight,
you are likely to miss the last Edgware Road service. If there is a
danger of that happening, you would probably do best to stay on the
Piccadilly line to either Knightsbridge or Hyde Park Corner and then
get a short taxi ride direct to the hotel.

If there's any real danger of being that late, wouldn't it be better and
possibly no more expensive, to go to Paddington by Heathrow Express? You
could take a shorter taxi ride to the hotel or even walk.
