They have records for the London area, and you can search their database to see what they hold (some parish, electoral registers and school/institution records etc) They are quite near to the FRC (well it looks like that on the map!) They will do look ups/ searches for you - a bit pricey at £35 per hour - but might be worth it for the brick wall especally if you,live a long way out from London. Chris

It has lots of useful London records and the staff were lovely and ever so helpful and friendly and found what I wnated for me, even though I had only the vaguest clue how to find what I was looking for.
