Hey guys. I'm currently planning a journey that takes me via London.
Basically I arrive in London Kings Cross, then ened to walk over to
St Pancreas to get a train to St. Albans. According to the Transport
Direct journey planner, this walk will take 31 minutes, but if I
look at any map, it looks like it shouldn't even take 5!

I've not been to the new St Pancreas, and I guess the entrance might
not be at the Kings Cross side, but is it really true that it would
take the average person 31 minutes to walk from Kings Cross station
to St. Pancreas?

First of all, it's St Pancras, not St Pancreas!

They must be assuming that you get lost, not difficult to do if you
don't know the place. It shouldn't take more than 5 or 10 minutes.

When you get to King's Cross, follow signs for Platforms 9 to 11 if
you're not already there. Platforms 9 to 11 are in a separate building
stuck on the western side of the main station, accessed from half way
along platform 8. From there you can walk straight across to the
eastern side entrance of St Pancras station, where the new extension
joins on to the original brick building. From the entrance go right
across to the far (western side) where there are escalators down to the
First Capital Connect platforms for trains to St Albans.
