London 1 North is an English level 6, rugby union league for clubs in north London and the south east of England.[1] The fourteen teams play home and away matches from September through to April. The first placed team in the league wins promotion to National 3 London & South East while the league runner-up plays the second placed team from London 1 South in a play-off for promotion. Relegated teams drop to either London 2 North East or London 2 North West depending on the location of the club.

Green backgrounds are promotion places.
  1. ↑ The creation of a new division 4 for the next season in the London league would lead to a restructure of the whole league including a downsizing of this division from 17 teams to 12 resulting in much more relegation spots than usual.
  2. ↑ The division would be renamed London Division 1 North 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.
  3. ↑ After finishing 12th, Barking were due to be relegated but due to East Grinstead's voluntary relegation from National League 3 London & SE (all the way to level 10), the club were granted a reprieve from relegation and would remain in London 1 North for the 2016-17 season.[21]
