Sadly the baptisms for St Giles Camberwell are not covered by the IGI. You can check parish coverage at Hugh Wallis' website

Camberwell registers are deposited at the London Metropolitan Archives.

You might be interested in the digitalisation of the parish records programme which will make a big difference when it starts to come online.
