London 1 North was an English level 6, rugby union league for clubs in London and the south-east of England including sides from Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, north Greater London, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk.{{cite web|publisher=Sussex Rugby Union |title=League Make up |url=http://www.sussexrugby.co.uk/dyn/pages/competitions/league-results/ |access-date=14 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100112130757/http://www.sussexrugby.co.uk/dyn/pages/competitions/league-results |archive-date=12 January 2010 |url-status=dead }} When this division began in 1987 it was known as London 2 North, changing to its final name ahead of the 2009–10 season.

The fourteen teams played home and away matches from September through to April. The first placed team in the league won promotion to London & South East Premier while the league runner-up played the second placed team from London 1 South in a play-off for promotion. Relegated teams dropped to either London 2 North East or London 2 North West depending on the location of the club.

The Rugby Football Union reorganised the level six leagues for season 2022–23, with an increase from eight to twelve leagues, and a reduction of the teams in each from fourteen to twelve.{{cite web|url=http://oxfordshirerfu.pitchero.com/news/renaming-of-rfu-national-3-leagues-18926/|title=Renaming of RFU National 3 Leagues|publisher=Oxfordshire RFU|access-date=16 July 2017 }} The teams in this league were transferred to either Regional 2 Anglia, Regional 2 Thames or Regional 2 East Midlands.{{cite web |title=League Structure and Leagues for 2022/2023 |url=https://rise.articulate.com/share/26CsHbwNnui6nhtbatR0v03gYNbPO02M?spMailingID=19306298&spUserID=NDU4MjM2MTQwMTU0S0&spJobID=1996212048&spReportId=MTk5NjIxMjA0OAS2#/lessons/uaHla5LidN_B3pfWKTHr5wL7se9E7u5A |website=RFU Community Communications |access-date=13 August 2022}}

2021–22 (final season)

The teams competing in 2021–22 achieved their places in the league based on performances in 2019–20, the 'previous season' column in the table below refers to that season not 2020–21.

Ten of the fourteen teams from 2021–22 were placed into one of the new level six leagues for 2022–23.

=London 2 North (1993–1996)=

At the end of the 1992–93 season the top six teams from London Division 1 and the top six from South West Division 1 were combined to create National 5 South. This meant that London 2 North dropped from a tier 6 league to a tier 7 league for the years that National 5 South was active. Promotion continued to London 1 and relegation to either London 3 North East or London 3 North West.
