Notes
- ^ Harrodians would be renamed Barnes RFC from the 1992–93 season onward.
- ^ Changes to the Surrey leagues for the following season, including the restructuring of Surrey 2 and creation of Surrey 5 meant that champions Battersea Ironsides were not promoted.
- ^ The restructuring of Surrey 2 and creation of Surrey 5 meant that runners up Old Caterhamians were actually relegated into Surrey 4.
- ^ The restructuring of Surrey 2 and creation of Surrey 5 meant that nine teams were relegated. Old Caterhamians, Reigate & Redhill, Surrey Police, BBC, Old Bevonians, Old Croydonians, Shene Old Grammarians and London Fire Brigade dropped to Surrey 4, while Haslemere dropped to Surrey 5.
- ^ Due to restructuring caused by the cancellation of Surrey 5 at the end of the season, six clubs were promoted including Old Haileyburians, Chobham, Old Wandsworthians and Old Bevonians.
- ^ Restructuring due to the cancellation of Surrey 5 at the end of the season meant there was no relegation.
- ^ Relegated Shene Old Grammarians would drop out of the league.
- ^ Bec Old Boys were also promoted along with champions Worth Old Boys and runners up Chipstead.
- ^ Not promoted due to restructure to Surrey league - Surrey 4 re-instated. Bec Old Boys would remain in division along with teams dropping from Surrey 2.
- ^ Despite finishing second London Media would be victims of league restructuring due to the reinstatement of Surrey 4 - dropping down to the new division.
- ^ Old Suttonians, Egham Hollowegians, Woking, Old Oundelians, Haslemere and Economicals were the relegated teams this year. This was due to the reinstatement of Surrey 4 for the 2005-06 season which meant that almost all teams in this division were relegated to populate the new league.
- ^ No relegation as league increased from 9 to 10 teams for the next season.
- ^ Haslemere would drop out of the league for the next season.
- ^ Old Radleian would drop out of the league for the next season.
- ^ Despite finishing 7th, Horley also dropped down to Surrey 4.
- ^ Reduced from 10 to 9 teams after Horley dropped down to Surrey 4.
