NEW YORK – August 3, 2015 – Bravo Media crowns an all new season of “Ladies of London” premiering season two on Monday, September 7th at 10:00pm ET/PT. Set in the glittering, class-conscious city across the pond, the series follows a group of elite British socialites, wealthy American expats, and stunning Danish royalty who all run in the same exclusive circle. Although London is a diverse and cosmopolitan playground, these ladies are part of an extremely small, tight-knit upper-class community where it’s not always about how much money you have, but what title is in front of your family name. Alliances will be made and hearts may be broken, but London will surely never be the same as these fun-loving, fashion-minded divas take the city by storm.

This season brings an extra whimsical dose of fun from new cast member and Danish Baroness, Caroline Fleming. The former host of “Denmark's Next Top Model” recently returned to London and is bursting back onto the scene. Julie Montagu, also known as Lady Hinchingbrooke, is busy caring for her four kids and expanding her healthy living empire while her royal husband, Luke is away running their Mapperton estate. Saddled with being a full time mom herself, savvy fashion blogger Juliet Angus is getting settled in her new home south of the Thames River while her husband Gregor is globetrotting for his new international tech job. As Annabelle continues to recover from her horse-riding accident, she turns her focus to creating a splash by penning a children’s book. Recently becoming a British citizen, Marissa Hermer is balancing life with her new baby and making a name outside the shadow of her restaurant/nightlife mogul husband, Matt. Meanwhile, Caroline Stanbury is determined to secure her ranking as London’s premier elite entrepreneur by expanding her businesses, but as those dreams begin to crumble she still manages to mix it up with friends Caroline Fleming, sister-in-law Sophie Stanbury and the other ladies.
