Try the London Metropolitan Archives and they will be able to tell you which church registers have been deposited. They are likely to hold the parish records.

The IGI only has coverage of the parish church marriage registers between 1813-1877.
The BVRI CDs (supplementary to the online IGI) have baptisms between 1772-1872

Bromley Archives have at least St Barnabas parish registers deposited 1877-1950 and a printed index for St George 1538-1904
