If arriving by NR I would also check Thameslink to St Pancras and walk.
If I was arriving *on* Thameslink (the most likely scenario for me) I might stay on the train and change to the Underground at Farringdon, but I'm not sure what the walk from St Pancras is like.

Similarly, if you're on arriving on South Eastern then continuing to Cannon St and picking up the Northern Line at Bank, or continuing to Charing X and catching the Northern Line from there might be easier than the interchange at London Bridge.

12 minutes, 0.6 mile. Ok for a fit person without too much luggage. Maybe not if a bit of difficulty walking or loads of stuff. But you can walk a fair distance underground on the tube....

I would stay on the train and walk from Saint Pancras to Euston; it might be slightly further than the walk from Euston Square to Euston but not enough to warrant a change of trains and a potential wait for the second train.

St P Thameslink platforms to Euston platforms can be done in less than 10 mins. Don’t walk via Euston Road as that’s slower than going via Brill Place and Phoenix Road

That's sometimes the mistake people make - there are some "interchanges" on the underground which involve a fair amount of walking, I remember "discovering" Piccadilly to Victoria at Green Park which is just one of many, you can end up walking as far "inside" a single tube station as Euston Square-Euston or even Saint Pancras to Euston (at least, it can sometimes feel like it).
I'm not fit and have a walking impairment after a stroke but Saint Pancras to Euston (or vice-versa) is trivially easy for me (especially with luggage) because there aren't too many other people, the pavements are wide enough and there are well-positioned road crossings for pedestrians. Provided I'm using the "back route" via Brill Place etc. of course.

...and going via Brill Place and Phoenix Road is slower than going via Doric Way, the Ossulston Estate and Dangoor Walk
