Alan,
Concur that the Underground is the cheapest way. And certainly
better than getting 6 buses.
Picadilly Line to Hammersmith, change to Circle Line to Barbican
station, a short walk from the venue and the Thistle City Barbican
hotel.
Heathrow Express is very quick and confortable but extortionate at
c£20 (£25 if you buy on the train), and also you'd still have to get
on the Underground or on a bus when you got to Paddington.
Hope that helps.

Coming from Heathrow, the least expensive is the London
Underground, at 5.70 GBP cash fare, lower if you purchase
and use an Oyster card. Journey time is between 75-100
minutes depending on time of day and which terminal you
start from. There is one change of underground lines.
More expensive but faster is the Heathrow Connect train;
total journey time would be about 40-50 mins and cost would
be 9.90 for the train and another 4.70 for the underground
(less if you purchase and use an Oyster card).
More expensive still is the Heathrow Express, with a shorter
total journey time, but a higher train fare.
