I lived in the area in 1995/1996- so this info may be out of date but here goes ....
I did a couple of evenings with one club which meet at Battersea athletics track ... might have been Dulwich Harriers? (a long time ago and not sure). Anyway, though friendly the club was way, way out of my league, and very track-focused. Even the road runners were doing 5 minute miling!
I found it easier to go to a club straight work ... so I ran with the Bow Street Runners for a year. Friendly bunch, mixed ability, met in the middle of Covent Garden - at the big gym above the market place - one or two evenings a week. They drank in a private club afterwards which sometimes had live jazz on - how cool is that! No longer have any contact details, but I think I got their details from one of the London libraries - or I guess you could ask at the gym (or surf the net).
