Green backgrounds are promotion places.
  1. ^ The creation of a new division 4 below this league for the next season would lead to a downsizing of the division from 17 teams to 10 resulting in much more relegation spots than usual.
  2. ^ 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.

Promotion play-offs

Since the 2000–01 season there has been a play-off between the runners-up of London 2 North East and London 2 North West for the third and final promotion place to London 1 North. The team with the superior league record has home advantage in the tie. At the end of the 2016–17 season the London 2 North West and London 2 North East teams are tied with eight wins each; and the home team has won promotion on twelve occasions compared to the away teams five.

Green background is the promoted team. NE = London 2 North East (formerly London 3 North East) and NW = London 2 North West (formerly London 3 North West)
  1. ^ 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.[37]
