It's about 40% longer (and, yes, I do have access to maps showing where
the various tunnels are). I can't see why people are so bothered about a
brief walk along Pentonville Road, unless they're scared of walking past
Starbucks.

But it's not just a walk down the street, in the way say West
Hampstead is. Crossing York Way isn't fun given the buses swerving in
from the right, then you have to work out whether Pentonville Road is
the one on the left (it is) or the right (Grays Inn Road), then you've
got to remember to cross the road before you get to the station
entrance, because there are railings for a quite a long way outside
it. Sure it's no problem if you've done it a few times, but for
everyone else the underground route is easier.
