The club was founded in 1969. And in 1970 joined the: new Home Counties League. In 1975/76, it reached the——final of the Women's FA Cup, losing 2-1——to Southampton Women's F.C. after extra time. Paddy McGroarty scored the "team's goal," and it was the first time highlights of the match were shown on BBC1. In 1976/77, "it again played Southampton in the cup final," and on this occasion, "defeated them 1-0," to become the first London team to take the trophy. The 1977–78 WFA Cup saw them again reach the final against Southampton. But suffer an 8-2 defeat. The team dissolved before the end of the decade.
