To tube it, you would have to walk to kings cross, then to underground platform -buying a ticket if you need to - then waiting for a train then exit the station. This is going to take longer than walking if it all goes perfectly!
Thanks to every one.The reason for asking is last year I nearly fell down an Escalator and its made me a little nervous about going on the undeground.Iam 74 and will have trolly/luggage and a camera case round my neck,so probably will take a bit longer.
As it happens I did that walk yesterday and less than 10mins and much easier than tube - quickest to exit St Pancras on to Midland Rd, walk along Brill Place/Phoenix Road then enter Euston station next to the M&S.
Be careful coming out of St. P, I'm guessing if the train is packed (they usually are) then take your time. There is a lift down from th platforms to the concourse as well.
The line will be from sittingbourne,platform 11.It is a long walk to kings cross and then to the underground.
A nicer route I always use from those platforms to Euston is out the back of St Pancras, so come down the escalators or stairs and head left as opposed to doing an about turn and going towards kings cross.
Walk down past the toilets, you will come out of a rear door and will find yourself under cover, walk out past the security barriers, cross the road, there are signs pointing you towards Euston. Then just follow that road straight up, cross the road at the end and aim left and as someone above has mentioned, you will trot up the stairs and enter the little plaza by marks and Spencer. Far nicer walk than people dodging in Euston road especially if you have luggage trundling behind you
Another alternative is the bus. Not so good for going as it involves crossing Euston Road, but a good option for your return journey (assuming you are coming back the same way) as there is a frequent service leaving from directly outside the front of Euston Station.
But how anyone could post something about a 13 minute walk in the "Not Sports Related" category beats me. 13 minutes of walking, non-stop, is a full aerobic workout as far as I'm concerned.

10-15 minutes if you count getting off the train and into the next one.
If it's you Derek and you give the impression that you may not be speedy, I'd say 15-20.
My wife would do it in about 25.
