is it really true that it would take the average person 31 minutes to
walk from Kings Cross station to St. Pancreas?

If you arrive on any of platforms 1-7 [1] then first you may have to
walk the entire length of the train to the concourse, and then the
obvious route is to exit the station at the front. From there, although
St Pancras is "just across the road", you then end up walking the entire
length of the original shed, before starting a trip down into the bowels
for the low-level station.

So yes, it's not a five minute job. 31 minutes does allow some normal
"connection time", too. Looking at a map, the total distance might be as
much as 2,000 ft, which is six minutes at a 4mph trot, so realistically
twice that with people and luggage in the way.

[1] For pedants, there is a footbridge for platform 1, but I doubt any
strangers would ever use it.
