The Greater London League was a football league for clubs in and around London. It was formed in 1964 by a merger of the London League and the Aetolian League,[1] after the two leagues had run a joint league cup the previous season due to both struggling for numbers.[2]

History

The league initially ran with A and B sections, before being divided into a Premier Division and First Division in 1965. In 1967 the divisions were renamed Division One and Division Two. A reduction in the number of clubs saw a single division formed for the 1969–70 season, and although it lost another club at the end of the season, it was split back into two sections the following season. At the end of the 1970–71 season it merged with the Metropolitan League (which had lost several clubs to the Southern League) to form the Metropolitan–London League.[3]
