The competition was a significant competition at the time, due to the speedway teams from London also being the majority of the leading teams in the country. However, following the increased closure of the London tracks the event diminished in stature, particularly from 1964 onwards, when only a few teams competed and in some cases just two. The competition ended after 1989, replaced by an event called the Pride of London.
