London Scottish has a very long tradition of offering rugby at all levels and is very proud of the senior teams that play outside of the semi-professional arena. In our first season (2018/19) we fielded two London Scottish Lions teams, the First XV who began in Herts Middlesex League 2, and the Second XV who went into Middlesex Merit Table Division 2.
Following another very successful season, the Lions 1st XV won their league and secured another promotion to Level 5 in the RFU league pyramid. That’s now five promotions in six seasons ! The Lions Bs were also had a very successful season, gaining promotion to the Middlesex Premier League. On occasion, we were able to put out a 3rd XV, the C Lions, for a handful of friendly matches when numbers allowed. To cap a fine season overall, the Lions also won the Middlesex Club 7s and in May managed to field a senior team and a Colts Academy team at the Melrose 7s in Scotland.
In the 2025/26 season, the Lions 1st XV are in Regional 1 (South Central) League and a link to their fixtures can be found here. The Lions Bs are playing in the Middlesex Premier League with the C Lions competing in the Middlesex Merit Table.
Whether you are an ex-international, an aspiring young player or someone who likes to don the boots once a month, we have the right set-up for you to enjoy your rugby. And no – you do not need to be Scottish!
Training takes place on a Wednesday evening from 8:00pm to 9:30pm at the Kings House School Sportsground, Riverside Drive, Chiswick, London, W4 2SH. What 3 Words = amuse.truck.coins
