It's the League for London Clubs, mostly Pall Mall based. For instance RAC, Oxford & Cambridge and Athenaeum (not to be confused with Athenaeum Chess Club).

Why are you shouting the name?
Anyway, I'm afraid I can't help you. However, if you're interested in the Eastman Cup Plate, the Final was played on Thursday 23rd April and Mushrooms defeated Hackney 5.5-4.5

Many years ago I took my partner (as she would later become) to watch me play a match at Athenaeum. I remember being surprised that she had wanted to come. It turned out that she had made the mistake that David warns about!
Of course it was all my fault

It's a London League competition and the controller is Brian Smith (contact details in the ECF Yearbook).
