The creation of Middlesex 4 ahead of the 1988–89 season saw Middlesex 3 merged into a single division remaining at tier 10 of the league structure. Promotion continued to Middlesex 2, while relegation was to the new Middlesex 4.

The creation of Herts/Middlesex at the beginning of the 1992–93 season meant that Middlesex 3 dropped to become a tier 11 league. The introduction of National 5 South for the 1993–94 season meant that Middlesex 3 dropped another level to become a tier 12 league for the years that National 5 South was active. Promotion and relegation continued to Middlesex 2 and Middlesex 4 respectively. The merging of the Hertfordshire and Middlesex regional divisions at the end of the 1995–96 season meant that Middlesex 3 was cancelled.
