#3 Millwall FC vs West Ham United (Dockers Derby)

Millwall FC vs West Ham United
Millwall and West Ham share a historic tie due to their shipbuilding industries

The only reason this rivalry ranks third in this list and not higher is due to the fact that it rarely occurs nowadays as both teams play in different divisions of English football. However, take nothing away from the fixture itself, though, which just might be the most heated out of all the London derbies.

This South London vs East London derby is also known as the Dockers Derby due to the clubs' historical ties to the shipbuilding industry along the Thames. Despite being contested infrequently (the last game happening in 2012), this game has often been marred with hooliganism as fans cannot keep their fists in their pockets.

Millwall actually come out on top, with 38 wins as compared to West Ham’s 34. A derby in the true sense of the word.
