I bought a ticket to London Waterloo, but the ticket just says London Terminals, so can I safely head for Victoria instead if I like?

I bought a ticket to London Waterloo, but the ticket just says London Terminals, so can I safely head for Victoria instead if I like / need to?

Yes
By changing at Clapham Junction or somewhere, not valid on London Underground though.

Travelling to and from London​

If you are travelling to or from London, your ticket will usually show London Terminals rather than a specific station. This is because your ticket may be valid at more than 1 London Terminal station, as long as it is on a reasonable route, using National Rail services.

For example, if you are travelling from Woking to London Terminals, you can end your journey at:

• London Waterloo
• London Victoria (via Clapham Junction)
• London Bridge
• London Blackfriars
• City Thameslink
• London Charing Cross
• London Waterloo East
• London Cannon Street (via London Bridge)
