One isn't bad, but I would prefer:

The next time I go to London, I will stay there longer.

It is a specific time, so "the" is appropriate here.

Two would be ok with a comma after time, but it would suggest that your last time you DIDN'T go to London, and "there" is somewhere else (like the U.K. or maybe Europe), that includes London.

I can't put my finger on anything that's actually wrong with Three, but it sounds odd.

all three are correct sentences, but the meaning are slightly different.

First one, "Next time I go to London, I will stay there longer." This person "has been" to london. he/ she plan to go there again

2nd and third one mean the same. This person has or has not been to london. (we don't know)
Also, we don't know when would be the "next time" this person go to london. he might not has another chance to go, but when he does go, he will stay longer.

Two is wrong...

One will be better said as: "The next time I go to London, I will stay there longer."

Three will be better said as: "When I go London the next time, I will stay there longer."

One: Correct.
Two: It's all about puncuation; place a comma after "Next time..." and it will be correct.
Three: Correct.

If you want to talk a bit more commonly, try putting "I'll" instead of "I will". But it gives an air of sophistication and it's correct anyway, so why not? ;)

One and Three are grammatically correct but One sounds better and is to be preferred.
