quickly check here.

If one buy an Anytime single ticket from A to C, one can travel A to B
in the morning, go and do a day's work (or indeed go and 'do' a day's
fun etc), then travel from B to C in the evening and go home (or go to
the circus etc).

Yes. The one exception is that if B is a Tube station when crossing
London as part of the ticket, you have to pay for the extra Tube trip from
B to the relevant London terminal to continue.

You can't even exit the tube at a station that isn't on the list for
cross-London journeys.

I think I've read conflicting info on this particular issue, but I
remember reading on the District Dave forum that in practice, LU staff
will let people out of a station (at least within central London) if
they ask. That said, it's certainly not the intention of the
cross-London tube transfer ticketing arrangements to facilitate this.

I was refused exit at Goodge Street on a cross-London ticket once and told
in no uncertain terms that I could only go to and from main line stations. I
went back to Euston and exited there without problems.
