It was considered a prestigious competition, especially in its early days due to the fact that the leading teams in British speedway at the time were all from London.

However, as the number of teams from London dwindled, so did interest in the competition.

[3][4] An attempted revival of the Championship was made in 2011 at the Arena Essex Raceway speedway track in Purfleet, Essex, where the riders taking part represented not their current clubs, but long-defunct London clubs including West Ham Hammers, New Cross Rangers, Wembley Lions and Walthamstow Wolves.

However, the meeting was abandoned after only a few heats due to heavy rain and was never restaged.
