Or..you could walk out of Paddington (no steps)... up the ramp.. Turn left into Praed street and walk to the bus stop and then get on the 36 or 436 bus which takes you straight to Victoria.. It's much much more pleasant and quicker (generally) than the tube...

How much are the fares on London Buses nowadays. It is probably cheaper to purchase a travelcard.

Single bus journey in London is ^2 cash, ^1.20 with an Oyster^▸ Card.

I've often taken the bus from Praed Street, Paddington to another terminus when I'm travelling with split advances from Bristol to London then onwards. However, now that I've got a Lobster (as a friends Gran called it!) the single tube fare is a much more agreeable ^1.80 as opposed to the ^4.00 cash fare. And if I've got time to spare in London and I make a few public transport trips in zones 1-2 then with my Oyster I'll only pay a maximum of ^3.70 off peak per day.
