When you arrive at Kings Cross, you can take the official entrance to
the tube inside the station,

Which also has a lift.

but instead of turning right at the
bottom of the stairs and following the official route to the Victoria
line, turn LEFT. This will bring you to the old tube ticket hall where
you can go through the barriers

And there's a short lift on the far side if the steps are an issue.

and down the escalators to the
Victoria line. This is MUCH quicker than the official route. Why LUL
route passengers the long way round I don't know, but since when did
it matter to them

It's probably to try to reduce the congestion in the old ticket hall.
