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

They signpost to confuse the confusable. That divides the flow between the
two routes. It's standard practice.

I thought standard practice was to ensure the escape routes were as
short as possible, and to send entrants the long way round to stop them
holding up escapees.
