The club was established in 2003 as a merger of Elms, Moonshot and Ten Em Bee.[1] They were admitted to Division One West of the Kent County League and went to win the division at the first attempt.[2] The club were promoted to the Premier Division, which they won in 2005–06. In 2011 they were founder members of the Kent Invicta League. The club subsequently finished bottom of the league in 2012–13, 2014–15 and 2015–16.[2] In 2016 the Kent Invicta league merged into the Southern Counties East League, becoming its Division One. Lewisham finished bottom of the division again in its inaugural season.[2]
Shortly before the start of the 2018–19 season, Lewisham resigned from the Southern Counties East League.[3] However, they were reinstated to the league a day later.[4] In 2023–24 the club finished fifth in Division One, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. In the semi-finals they lost to Larkfield & New Hythe Wanderers on penalties after the game had finished 0–0. However, they went on to win the Division One Cup, beating the same opponents 3–2 in the final.[5]
