Wouldn't it be better to get off the Victoria Line at King's Cross and
then take a Circle or Metropolitan or Hammersmith & City train to
Paddington?

The change at Kings Cross is convoluted at the best of times. And with
the rebuilding work, worse. You also end up having to lug your bags up
over a bridge at Paddington, rather than using an escalator.
