Join the Lions for 2026/27! Competing in Regional 1 South Central after 5 promotions in 6 seasons. Find your place in the LS Pride at King's House.

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, with the 1st XV (Lions) beginning in Herts Middlesex League 2 (lvl 10).

After a highly successful maiden 2018/19 season - which saw the Lions win their league with an unbeaten record - the team has enjoyed a meteoric rise. To finish a great inaugural season, the Lions also won the Middlesex Shield and combined forces with the London Scottish semi-professional team to win the 2019 Melrose 7s in Scotland.

Since then, the squad has achieved an incredible five promotions in seven seasons, climbing all the way from Level 10 to Level 5. In 2024/25, the Lions won the Regional 2 Thames competition to reach Regional 1 South Central. Following a fantastic 2025/26 campaign where the Lions finished in 2nd place and narrowly missed out in their playoff game, we will be competing in the same highly competitive Regional 1 South Central league for the 2026/27 season. We now look forward to facing tough opposition, fresh challenges, and building on our momentum with a strong top-half finish at our highest level yet.

With a growing squad, there is room for everyone. 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: Wednesdays, 20:00–21:30 at King's House Sports Ground, Riverside Drive, Chiswick, London, W4 2SH (What3Words: amuse.truck.coins)
