I have read mentions of tube work on weekends, so I was trying different scenarios for a trip from Earl's Court to Kew Gardens, one through week, and one on weekend of September 16,17. If I use journey planner for right now it says take District Line to Kew. If I schedule it for the weekend of September 16, 17, it says to take Picadilly Line to Hammersmith, then take District Line to Kew. However, the Tfl website does not show any scheduled work for that weekend. I don't understand why it gives two different routes. Would like to understand this not just for this, but just to try to understand the Tfl website, etc. I went to the Citymapper site and it seemed to just give a journey planner for right now, but I may have overlooked something.

also, if you are at home we are a few hours different to you (does Indiana still refuse Daylight Savings Time?) and unless you change it the default is the time here when you search, so the answer may be when fewer trains run, such as into the night or very early morning.
Earls Court and Hammersmith are both reasonable places to get the District Line.

Nigel, I had forgotten how much later it would be in England when I was choosing the "now" option. And I am glad I didn't live in Indiana before they accepted DST!
