It depends on the date.   Have a look at the National Archives research guides

Wills and Death Duty Records, after 1858

http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/courts-and-tribunals/courts/probate/copies-of-grants-wills.htm


Wills before 1858:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=220

There is also a help guide on the Rootschat London and Middlesex boards (though it is helpful for understanding wills and the process generally)

If it's between 1858 and 1966, you can check the probate calendars online at Ancestry to see if a will exists.
