The Real World: London is the fourth season of MTV’s reality show The Real World, which follows a group of varied strangers as they live together for several months in a different location each season, with cameras following their lives and interpersonal connections. It is The Real World’s only season to be shot in the United Kingdom.
The first of four seasons of The Real World to be shot entirely abroad of the United States was The Real World: Paris, which aired in 2003, The Real World: Sydney, which aired in 2007, and The Real World: Cancun, which aired in 2009. The performers moved into the Notting Hill Gate flat in January 1995 and stayed for five months until leaving in mid-June. The season premiered on June 28 of that year, with 2.7 million viewers tuning in.
With 32 seasons, Real World is MTV’s longest-running show, depicting the lives of young people. Some of the show’s stars went on to have successful careers in the entertainment business, while others faded away. Here we are looking at how the lives of The Real-world member have changed over the years.
