History
Bari Football Club was established in 1995 and played in the South Essex Football League until 1998.[2] After leaving, the club joined Division One of the Asian League.[2] In 2011–12 the club won the Essex Corinthian Sunday Football League. They then successfully applied to join the Essex Senior League, adopting the name London Bari.[3] The club finished bottom of the league.[3]
In 2017 the club merged with Middlesex County League club Hackney Wick, who had been founded in 2015 and played at Mabley Green in Hackney. The merged club took the Hackney Wick name and London Bari's place in the Essex Senior League.[4]
