District are less crowded than the Northern.

The Met is *vastly* less crowded. It is entirely possible, if you're
willing to let one or two trains go, to get on an Aldgate-bound Met
Line train at Euston Square in the height of the peak and get a seat;
I've done it regularly. If forced to stand, it's also nice not to
have to duck your head to fit in the loading gauge.

The Northern line City branch is genuinely best avoided during rush
hour if at all humanly possible. Going via the Met/Circle would
certainly be my recommendation as well. You'd be nuts to choose the
Northern over it!
