That's not four changes. It's saying:
Walk from Waterloo concourse to Waterloo tube
Catch a train to Euston (tube)
Change to a train to King's Cross (tube)
Walk to St Pancras concourse
It's also bloody stupid because who would want to change at Euston? It
must jointly win the prize (along with Embankment) as the station with
the most people standing looking lost at every line diagram or sign
pointing to a platform or line.
Far more convenient to take the Bakerloo Line to Oxford Circus and make
a cross platform, level interchange to the Victoria Line to Kings Cross.
The Jubilee Line to Green Park and then Victoria Line is not ideal but
it's probably less confusing, as a second choice, than going via Euston.
