Cross London on underground with through ticket

[Halsebee]

I have an advance ticket for a through journey via London, arriving at Paddington at lunchtime and leaving Kings X early evening on a Friday. I need to make a few journeys on the tube in London during the several hours between arriving at Paddington and contiuing my journey from Kings X. Tube journeys would be Paddington to Zone 2, Zone 2 to Zone 1 and Zone 1 to Kings X. My ticket is valid for one journey on thr tube from Paddington to Kings X, but I won't be doing that exact juorney. My query is, can I use my ticket for one of the other tube journeys, presumably in Zone 1 only? And even if it is supposedly valid, would it work the barriers at another station?

You can use it to a non-station destination from Paddington in zone 1 only, after which you need to pay for each tube journey.

Thanks, can I use it from a Zone 1 station that's not Paddington, to go to Kings X?
