The Lions in London
The North London Lions are an Aussie Rules Football Club, based in North London and competing in the AFL London competition.
The Lions are one of the largest and strongest Clubs in AFL London. We field three teams in competition on a weekly basis:
- 1st grade (the North London Lions) feature in the AFL London Premiership
- 2nd grade (the Regents Park Lions) feature in the AFL London Conference competition
- 3rd grade(the Bounds Green Lions), also known as our Social team, feature in the AFL London Social competition.
As well as a goal to be consistently competitive on the field, we also take pride in the social side of the Club. With events, trips, and an a calendar that covers all 12 months of the year, the Lions are a home away from home for many Aussies in London, as well as a unique Club and family for an ever increasing number of locals.
The most recent AFL London season in 2012 was a very special one for the Lions, as after a decade of near misses our Premiership (1st grade) team once again won the AFL London Grand Final, with a nail biting 1 point victory.

Famous quotes containing the words lions and/or london:
“No stout
Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
To holler down the lions in this air.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
