If you want a sort of touchy-feely, not too expensive or fussy way:
Stansted Express to Tottenham Hale then Victoria Line to Oxford Circus
then Bakerloo has been recommended in the past.


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?


By the time you've got yourself out of the bowels of the earth at
King's Cross, through the ticket barriers, along the passageway, down
the steps, through the other set of ticket barriers and finally onto
the Circle platform, chances are your Victoria Line train has already
reached Oxford Circus, where it's a fairly easy change.

(OK, it's an exaggeration. But probably only by one or two minutes.)
