London 2 South East
London 2 South East is an English level 7 Rugby Union League. It is made up of teams predominantly from south-east London, Kent, Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex. The twelve teams play home and away matches from September through to April. Each year all clubs in the division also take part in the RFU Intermediate Cup - a level 7 national competition.
Promoted teams move up to London 1 South with the league champions being promoted automatically and the runners up playing the runners up from London 2 South West while demoted teams tend to move down to London 3 South East.
