From what I have read of One London the only thing that matters in a vote there is the budget and even 3 BNP members is not going to make a difference if enough others support it.
The probability is one seat more than two or three, but the voting in London is splitting in several directions.

Respect will put up a fight, so will the Greens, English Democrats, and UKIP. But smaller parties will also take votes, including the Christian Peoples Alliance. If it were a strictly proportional contest, then we could get some idea of the oucome. If were still a contest between the Labour Party and Conservatives, similar. But we have this virtual lottery now. I know, Solihull constituency is a bit like that now.
