Re-entering the UK on a visitor visa

I got a visitor visa for 6 months with multiple entries, with the purpose of doing an interview with a UK company (they provided a document as proof). I visited the UK and had an interview, and everything went great.

Now, I would like to visit the UK (London) with a friend for a few days (3 months after the first visit) and was wondering whether I need a new visa since this one was issued for interviewing purposes, or I can enter with the visa I already have?

Thanks so much!
