Lancaster Gate (when it reopens) is a five minute walk away from
Paddington, something I think many people would find most convenient if
they knew - but given it's one of the quieter central London
Underground stations it would seem that they don't.

When Paddington was being resignalled in1967 and some passengers had to
transfer to the tube at Ealing Broadway it was specifically stated that
Paddington tickets would be valid to Lancaster Gate.

It's not like it's actually much of a hardship to get off at London
Bridge station and walk over the Thames into the City anyway!

Thousands do. That's why, when London Bridge was rebuilt (and the old one
sold to Lake Havasu City) the footway on the downstream side was made much
wider than the upstream one.
