I booked a train ticket to London Paddington with GWR. The booking confirmation however says London Terminals on top of London Paddington. Then there are words like this:

The following London stations are available for travel with the chosen ticket:

London Paddington (PAD) London Blackfriars (BFR) City Thameslink (CTK) London Cannon Street (CST) London Charing Cross (CHX) London Bridge (LBG) London Waterloo East (WAE) London Victoria (VIC) Vauxhall (VXH) London Waterloo (WAT)

Travel is not permitted to any other London Stations with this ticket

Does this mean that I can travel to any of these stations with my ticket without paying anything extra? If this is true, what should I do upon my arrival at Paddington if for example I would like to go to London Bridge station? I have never been to any railway stations in London other than Paddington, but London Bridge would be closer to my destination.

My ticket is Super Off-Peak Return if this is relevant.
