The origins of the club derive from the formation of two clubs called Ealing Harriers (who were established in 1920) and Southall AC (who were founded in 1931).[2]

In 1966 an amalgamation of the two clubs took place to form the Ealing & Southall AC, although the move did not please everybody because the Southall president George Brogden quit as a consequence of the merger.[3]

On 1 January 1994[4] the club amalgamated with another local club, Middlesex Ladies Club (originally formed in 1923)[5] and the name that is used today was taken.

Kelly Holmes won two Olympic gold medals as a member of the club in 2004, she still holds the Club's record at 400m, 800m, 1500m, and the mile.[6]
