The club started playing handball as a women's team only, with men occasionally coming to practice.

London GD's main home ground is now the Olympic Handball Arena, also known as "Copper Box", although Leyton Score Centre remains as training venue for developing teams.

In 2005 the club participated in its first official European Competition by playing in round 2 of the men's Challenge Cup.

For the 2011/2012 season we entered two-second teams in the development leagues, both men and women, with the former winning the South Regional Championship.

This past season 2012/2013 London GD ladies won the EHA Cup against Thames Handball Club, and the club's men 1st team won the Super 8 English National League without losing any single game, giving them the unique slot for EHF Cup again, which saw them playing against a Turkish team from Ankara in September 2013.
