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. ^ Both Wimbledon and the runners up from London 2 East, Aylesford Bulls, were promoted to London 2 South this year.
  3. ^ The division would be renamed London Division 2 South 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 South East and London 2 South West for the third and final promotion place to London 1 South.
