Academic Club London Football Club, commonly known as AC London, is a semi-professional football club based in London, England. They are currently members of the Combined Counties League Division One and play at Banstead Athletic's Merland Rise ground in Tadworth.
The club was established by Prince Choudary as a youth team in July 2012, before adding a full age team the following year, with Choudary becoming the youngest manager and chairman in senior football. They applied to join the Kent Invicta League for the 2015–16 season, and despite initially being turned down, were eventually accepted. They finished tenth in their first season, after which they were transferred to the Combined Counties League.
During the 2015–16 season the club played at the 16,000-capacity Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. Prior to the 2016–17 season they moved to Banstead Athletic's Merland Rise ground.
