There's a wide sub surface walkway to just in front of kings cross
station from the overbridge at the former station, and its currently
disused.


Isn't that the tunnel which will be the main passageway from the northern
ticket hall to the Piccadilly and Victoria Line platforms.
See the sections near the "5" marks he

Do you have a more legible version of that map? It's a bit (!) hard to read.

I'd always thought that the tunnel ran further south-west and came out near
position 1 labelled "Kings Cross Mainline (ECML)". But I could be wrong:
it's a while since I used that tunnel because it was not very well
signposted from the KX Thameslink station (or else I kept missing the
signs!) and it was easier (even if slower) to come up to surface level and
cross Pentonville Road.
