Well, according to the London Transport Strategy, in the morning peak,
the Victoria line is currently "very crowded" (i.e. operating in excess
of or near to planned capacity) northbound between Victoria and Green
Park, and southbound between Finsbury Park and King's Cross, and Euston
and Warren Street. Between Stockwell and Victoria it's just "busy"
northbound. The Northern line is "very crowded" northbound from Clapham
Common to Stockwell, after which it becomes "crowded" from there to
Kennington, suggesting a significant number of passengers transfer from
the Northern to the Victoria at Stockwell.
As I'd expect, the "very crowded" section north from Victoria indicates
that the line picks up an extremely high number of passengers from the
rail terminus, and it's on this Victoria - Green Park section that
capacity has been reached. Adding any stations further south would mean
those rail transfer passengers being left behind on the platform.
Unfortunately the diagrams in the Transport Strategy don't go beyond
Finsbury Park - but the Piccadilly southbound is at capacity already at
least between Finsbury Park and KXSP.
IME a very large proportion of every Victoria Line train get on and off at
Oxford Circus.
The diagram agrees, indicating that northbound trains are "crowded"
(i.e. approaching full) before Oxford Circus but "uncrowded" after it.
Southbound trains are "crowded" before Oxford Circus and "busy" after it
(as far as Victoria).
If anyone's interesting in looking at the diagrams, they're available as
part of this 382K PDF ("real" p91, Adobe Acrobat p6):
