Ancestry also have recently added London area Wills....in full.
These are not free to search, but are great. You see an image of the original Will.
The old handwriting is a bit hard to understand on the older ones, but I love to see the old copper-plate lettering.

Glad I read this have found a couple more, just got to wonder why the heir to a couple of them didn't write his own will.
