You’ve met the The Real Housewives of Cheshire and The Real Housewives of Jersey, but now it’s time to meet another group of uber-glamorous and super-stylish women in the UK.

The Real Housewives of London will introduce us to six luxury-loving ladies who live in some of the capital’s most prestigious postcodes from Belgravia to Chelsea.

Here's what we know so far…

The Real Housewives of London – release date

The first episode of the 10-part series will be available on streaming service Hayu on Monday 18 August. Further episodes will be released every Monday.

As with other instalments in the reality franchise, there will be a reunion special which will see the housewives look back at the goings-on in the series. It will be hosted by Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan.

Real Housewives of London – what to expect

Like other instalments in the franchise, you can expect the usual Real Housewives mix of fabulous fashion, coffee catch-ups, dinner party bust-ups, girls’ trips, gossip and lots of drama!

In the information given to us from Hayu, it says:

"These women balance ambition, family and fierce friendships – all while living life at full volume. Whether hosting lavish dinners, escaping to a Scottish castle, or rebuilding bonds over bottles of champagne, they’re navigating life, legacy and loyalty in a city where wealth whispers and grudges roar. With big personalities, deep histories, and no shortage of designer drama, the path to connection is never simple – but it’s always captivating."

Real Housewives of London – meet the cast

JULIET ANGUS

A wife and mum of two, Juliet is from Chicago but is now a resident of West London. She has already made waves in reality TV as a cast member on Ladies of London.

A social media influencer, global brand partner, stylist, and former fashion publicist, Juliet has carved out a reputation as a tastemaker on both sides of the Atlantic.

She says: “You will see family. You will see friends. You will see a lot of friendships tested and the ebb and flow of relationships. There are good moments and bad moments.

“We are a very dynamic group of women, very strong and very opinionated, so there are a lot of clashes! At least one in every episode!”

AMANDA CRONIN

This former model turned entrepreneur already has some Real Housewives connections because she’s close to Meredith Marks from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Dorinda Medley from The Real Housewives of New York City.

She’s the founder of the Amanda Caroline Beauty skincare brand and runs aesthetics and wellness clinic The Secret Door in Belgravia.

A fixture on London’s elite social scene with a jet-set lifestyle, she also has a 27-year-old daughter who’s an artist…

She says: “It's high drama. It's high stakes. And it’s absolutely real. We’ve been tested and we’ve had our moments. It’s about leaning on our friends and family and getting through it together.”

KAREN LODERICK-PEACE

If you watched The Real Housewives of Jersey, you will recognise Karen because she was a cast member on the show’s second series in 2022, so she is well-acquainted with the glamorous world of the Real Housewives franchise.

Born in Jamaica, she moved to the UK in her twenties and later met her husband Jeremy, the former chairman and owner of West Bromwich Albion F.C.

The couple share three children and own five luxurious properties across London, Jersey and Barbados. She is currently preparing to launch her own fashion label, reflecting her passion for style and design.

She says: “Some people are going to love us, some people aren’t, but we’re excited for viewers to go on this journey with us, whatever comes our way. We feel good about it and we’ve put in the hard work and now it’s time for everyone to see it. We’re loving the feedback we’ve had so far.”

JULIET MAYHEW

This former Miss Galaxy Universe hails from Australia, but she moved to the UK when she was 12 and now lives in one of Chelsea’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Married to ‘Tiggy’ with two teenage children, the actress turned creative producer is a committed philanthropist and she specialises in hosting immersive events through her successful event planning company – catering to some of the world’s most elite clients.

She also has a Real Housewives connection because she shares a close friendship with Caroline Stanbury from The Real Housewives of Dubai.

She says: “Sharing our personal lives and how we navigate them is really important. We all come from different walks of life, different cultures, different backgrounds, but we claim London as our home. Hopefully we can inspire people and show them that we’re all the same and go through the same struggles.

“Are we worried about what people will think of us? You can’t worry about what people will think of you. You can’t worry about those things. We’re old enough and ugly enough at this point. You might as well just put it out there!”

PANTHEA PARKER

Born in Iran, Panthea moved to England at the age of four. She lives in North London with her husband Ed and their three children; she also has an adult son from her first marriage.

Known for her high-society lifestyle and formidable social circle, Panthea has embraced a life of glamour having been on the Mayfair scene since the 1990s where she was a fixture at Mayfair’s private members’ club Annabel’s where she could be seen partying with A-listers.

She says: “We had sunshine for the whole three months of filming, so we’re kind of mis-selling London! But the important thing is that we came into this as our authentic selves.

“That's what's important. I think if everybody just is real, then everything's fine.”

NESSIE WELSCHINGER

Born and raised in London, Nessie shares her Chelsea family home – and a 500-year-old estate, nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds – with her husband Remy and their three children.

A former Global Head of Equity at Schroders, she now runs the renowned Chelsea Cake Company, boasting high-profile clientele including Queen Elizabeth II, having made one of her 90th birthday cakes.

Nessie also showcased her skills on Bake Off: The Professionals, further cementing her reputation in the world of patisserie.

“Expect a lot of drama! I feel like I am the peacemaker of the group. I give people space to be listened to and heard. I don't like to be surrounded by conflict, so I try to mediate. It’s very tricky though when you are surrounded by volcanoes, but I do my best. You try to mediate between these girls and tell me how easy the job is!

"You will also see the most magnificent backdrops throughout the series. It's going to be a feast for the eyes. I can’t wait for people to see it. It’s an honour to represent one of the best cities in the world!”
