Is it all down to how close the platforms for the two lines are at the
relevant interchange station?


Makes a huge difference, yes.



Fair enough. I don't know all the stations well enough to know which
platforms are close together at each one. That's one thing that the
Underground map doesn't tell you.



Agree, that should really be shown in some way on the tube map. It is
very useful to know.

Cross-platform or other same level interchanges (there are more of them,
but these are some I remember right now and have used/tested myself):
Oxford Circus: Victoria - Bakerloo
Baker Street: Jubilee - Bakerloo
Finsbury Park: Piccadilly - Victoria
Highbury & Islington: Victoria - NR to/from Moorgate
Acton Town, Hammersmith and Barons Court: Piccadilly - District
Earl's Court: All District branches
Mile End: Central - District/Hammersmith & City
New Cross: East London - Southbound NR
New Cross Gate: East London - Southbound NR
Gloucester Road: Eastbound District to clockwise Circle
Euston: Northern (via Bank) - Victoria
Stockwell: Northern - Victoria
Kennington: Northern via Bank - Northern via Ch X
Wembley Park and Finchley Road: Jubilee - Metropolitan
Poplar: Different DLR branches
West India Quay: Between DLR towards Bank/Tower GW/Stratford.

Also of course between different sub-surface lines on most stations
around the Circle Line, although some could be rather complicated and
not necessarily without using footbridges, such as Edgware Road and High
Street Kensington.

Try to avoid changing at:
Green Park
Charing Cross to/from Bakerloo
Waterloo between Northern and Jubilee
