Number of league titles

Notes

  1. ↑ H.A.C. won the 2016-17 play-off but were denied promotion and the result overturned by the RFU due to H.A.C. fielding an ineligible player.
  2. ↑ Uxbridge, Mill Hill, Tring, St Albans (2nd XV), Old Millhillians, Hampstead, Kingsburians, Letchworth Garden City, Chiswick and Hemel Hempstead were the relegated teams this season. This was due creation of a new division 4 below this league for the 2000-01 season which would lead to a downsizing of the division from 17 teams to 10 resulting in much more relegation spots than usual.
  3. ↑ The division would be renamed London Division 2 North West for the next season and along with the whole national restructure of the league system by the RFU lead to mass changes at all levels.
  4. ↑ The initial result of the 2016-17 playoff was overturned by the RFU after HAC were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player. This meant that South Woodham Ferrers were promoted instead.[38]
