Others look as though they are the
result of stupid design decisions,

To bandy the word "stupid" around without detailed knowledge of the
constraints is unfair.

or perhaps thoughtless penny-pinching.

That I can believe.

Take Green Park station, for example, where all
three possible interconnection seems to involve
a very long walk and lots of stairs and escalators.
But both Victoria and Jubilee stations were built
while the system was in common ownership.

I don't know about Green Park, but I know that at Waterloo, modern
construction safety rules prevented them from building the Jubilee station
where they wanted. I believe this was the main reason why all of the Jubilee
interchanges are so poor compared to the rake of very convenient Victoria
Line interchanges built in a less fussy era.
