What's the Story?

The reality series LADIES OF LONDON features a group of British socialites and American ex-pats living exclusive lives in London. It stars wealthy British aristocrats Annabelle Neilson and personal shopper Caroline Stanbury, who are regulars on the London social circuit. They're joined by Americans: model Captice Bourret, PR consultant Juliet Angus, fashion entrepreneur Noelle Reno, public relations specialist Marissa Hermer, and yoga instructor Julie Montagu. From attending A-list parties and self-promoting to protecting their reputations among the upper crust, these women navigate the unwritten rules of the London high society.

As with most shows of this kind, Ladies of London features the catty behavior, drinking, endless conversations about relationships, connections, and money one expects from Bravo TV reality shows. What sets it apart is its portrayal of London's distinctive high society, which, thanks to Britain's royalty-infused, class-oriented social structure, is different from America's upper-class social circles.

Stateside viewers may find humor in some of the distinctions being made between American and English socialites, while others may raise an eyebrow when cast members are genuinely surprised that they're not being treated in a way they believe respects their high-society status. But, aside from some of these cultural nuances, the series offers little more than your traditional voyeuristic reality entertainment.
