WELCOME TO THE 2026/27 SEASON

A new season is upon us, and it is great to have everyone back at Barn Elms. To returning players, new faces, supporters and friends of the club alike: welcome to the 2026/27 campaign.

Last season gave us plenty to build on: a 5th-place finish in Counties 3 Surrey with a 12–8 record and a +129 points difference, plus a run to the quarter-finals of the Papa Johns Cup. This year the aim is simple. We carry that momentum into every game, and we challenge for the league title.

Success for the 1st XV is the priority, but the club’s ambitions go further. We are continuing to build towards a regular 2nd XV and a Vets side, so that everyone who pulls on the shirt gets meaningful rugby, whatever their age or standard. If you have been thinking about playing, there has never been a better time to get involved.

Off the pitch, the social calendar will be as busy as ever. Keep an eye out for upcoming socials on our Instagram, @londonexiles, which is updated regularly, and here on the website.

Here’s to a big season. See you at Barn Elms, and on the road.
