Leyton withdrew from Division One North on 14 January 2011,[2] but expressed a wish to retain a team in the Youth League. At a meeting on 20 February this proposal was rejected and the club was expelled from the League.[3] The club's record of P19 W1 D6 L12 GF13 GA45 Pts9 was expunged on 24 February.
East Thurrock United won the division and were promoted back to the Premier Division after two seasons of absence along with play-off winners Wingate & Finchley. Waltham Forest were reprieved due to clubs folding higher up the pyramid, so no teams were relegated from the division this season.

Metropolitan Police won the division and were promoted to the Premier Division along with play-off winners Leatherhead. Bognor Regis Town missed out on the title by a single goal after a draw against Chatham Town on the final day of the season.
