Metrogas was founded in 1888, two years after the completion of the East Greenwich Gas Works, as a works team for the South Metropolitan Gas Company. Metrogas Athletic joined the Kent League in 1909, staying in the league for four years. In 1913, Metrogas joined the Athenian League, finishing runners up in 1920 and 1922. In the 1921–22 season, Metrogas entered the FA Cup for the first time, losing 2–1 at home to Norwich City in the fifth qualifying round.[1][2] In 1923, Metrogas joined the London League, finishing 11th in the Premier Division.[3]

In 1987, Metrogas joined the Spartan League, joining the Intermediate Division. Metrogas remained in the Spartan League until the 1993–94 season. In 2005, Metrogas joined the Kent County League. In 2014, Metrogas won the league, retaining the title the following season.[2]
