HISTORY:

Began as the "B" team of London Towers. Towers' under-23s joined NBL 2 in 1996.

Promoted '98. In 1999, "reserve" teams were banned from NBL 1, so they became independent, as Islington White Heat.

Accepted into the new NBL Conference in 2000 (though only after appeal), and renamed Inter-Basket London.

Renamed Hackney in 2002.

Relegated to EBL 2 in 2003, for failure to meet the full criteria for EBL1.

Continuing to lose their better players to teams in higher divisions, they finished next to bottom in EBL2 in 2005, and were relegated to EBL3.
