Or an extension of the league where at the end there are games for the three last of div1 against the 3 first of div 2. As a separate mini league.>
That'll be great if we could make it happen every year after the league finishes. But that was the intention last year but never happened although most or all the teams from div 2 were up for it and really wanting to make it happen ...

I think 3 or 2 leagues will depend on what the aim is for the London league. If it is to encourage as many people to play then 2 leagues should be. If it is to have likes-with-likes there aren't enough for 3 leagues and will create even a bigger exclusion and dichotomy.
There are invite only tourneys and beginners tourneys for more like-to-like competitions. Would be nice for the winter league to be on including and encouraging people to play over winter. Yes there will be a difference in ability. That's why some teams will fight for first place and others will fight for not finishing last.
And yes the middle teams may be suffering the most but surely there is a way to make the middle teams feel ranking is fair without excluding others.
I say play-offs before the league for the 4 Middle teams.
