London 3 South East is an English level 8 Rugby Union League involving club sides from Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and the south-east London.[1] It is made up of teams predominantly from London, Sussex and Kent. The twelve teams play home and away matches from September to April. Each year all clubs in the division also take part in the RFU Senior Vase, a national competition at level 8.
Promoted teams move up to London 2 South East, while demoted teams move down to Sussex 1 and Kent 1. Although 2nd XV rugby is part of the Sussex regional system, only 1st XV sides are eligible to play in London 3 South East.
