Kieran Dixon put London ahead with a penalty and although Jake Shorrocks went over for Wigan following a smart dummy, Jay Pitts touched down Jordan Abdull's kick to give the visitors a 8-6 half-time lead.
But Wigan stormed back and Chris Hankinson crossed in the 49th minute following a Broncos error before Morgan Escare collected George Williams' kick to score and seal the win.
