    You can get the circle line round from St Pancras/Kings X. It will take about 15 mins - but expect a 5 min wait for a tube as the cirle line is a tad slow...

    St Pancras shares a tube station with Kings Cross (they're right next to each other). Easiest thing to do is get on the Hammersmith line going towards Baker St. as you don't have to change to get to Paddington. (Just remember you're heading west).

    Leave yourself plenty of time (it sounds like you're planning on catching another train), so you don't panic and you have time to sort things out if you go wrong. If you've booked tickets via the train line, they allow about an hour for this journey, and it takes about 15 minutes.

    If this really is too confusing, the best option will be to get a cab, but this could be pricey if you're travelling at rush hour.

    I'm sorry, but you'll just have to try harder, it's all very easy to understand. You get either the Circle or the Hammersmith and City line to Paddington.

    Well there are 2 physically separate Tube stations at Paddington, one train station at Paddington, at St Pancras there are 2 train stations (domestic & international) plus the one train station at Kings Cross, then you have the 2 physically separate Tube stations at KX / St Pancras...

    thats doesnt effect searches though... type in paddington and u get paddington tube and train... type on kings st pancras and u get the same...

    i dont see how you can get 'mind boggling' results, considering its only two places with a variety of links...
