- Kensington and Chelsea is the most expensive place to live in London, with properties costing up to £55 million. Set against this exclusive backdrop we reveal the secret world of posh neighbors at war.
From the woman who hit the headlines worldwide for painting her exclusive Kensington mews house in bright red stripes, infuriating neighbors in the process, to the couple whose loud back garden operas are causing a commotion in the countryside and the unhappy denizens of Hampstead who are up in arms about noisy gardeners, we lift the lid on these most upmarket of neighborly rows. At the heart of the documentary is the battle between two multi-millionaire neighbors, businessman Niall Carroll; and Zipporah Lisle Mainwaring, the woman behind the stripes.
In March last year, Zipporah Lisle Mainwaring got the exterior of her Kensington property painted in bright red stripes - very different from the muted tones of the multi-million-pound houses on either side. This action came in the midst of an ongoing legal argument about her plans to turn this two-story property into a dream home, complete with a basement pool and cinema. But basement developments in London have become highly controversial, and we’ll explore both sides of the planning issues around not only this case, but others too, and we follow Zipporah’s case as it escalates to a public inquiry.
We meet Mayor of London Boris Johnson’s sister, author Rachel Johnson, herself one of the most outspoken Notting Hill residents on what she sees as the horrors of living next door to a basement build, and Oscar-winning actor Tom Conti at his Hampstead home. He shares his fury that his beloved peace and quiet has been broken with the latest trend - to use noisy leafblowers instead of quiet rakes to keep their lawns looking lovely!

Whose side are you on? Keep the stripes or repaint the house as the neighbours have wanted?
Update: She tore the whole house down and is currently in the process of building a new house from scratch, undoubtedly driving those horrible neighbors completely insane.
She even left the last stripe unfinished just to really piss people off. Legend
The hypocrisy and selfishness of the neighbour wasting all that time and money objecting to the building of a basement extension, when thats precisely what he did to his neighbours
I love Zapora's way of protesting. Her sense of justice and humor is superlative.
They wouldn’t let Zipporah make an auditory nuisance. So she treated them to a visual catastrophe. Game set match 👏
Lady is being straight up bullied. No question on that. The neighbour guy even boasted on camera that he has the right to make the property he wants but not everyone has that exception. Good on her to fight back!
The seething jealousy of the South African neighbour is hilarious. If I can’t buy next door then no one will. What a horrid person.
This is my kind of woman. We need more people in the world like her! Cheers to her!
I love the way she screamed back at the neighbors, with color. 😂 Her neighbors are very snooty. She wears her money well.
I was expecting to dislike the owner of the red and white house, but ultimately ended up rooting for her!
All of these people seem so vapid, petty and boring. It is proof that money doesn't buy class.
I loved when the dude said “it’s not a leaf blower they need, it’s a psychiatrist” 😂
The fact that these ppl are so up in arms about some stripes or a leaf blower just shows you what their problems are like...Non existent. Cry me a river!
"because a queen has a tiara doest mean everyone should have a tiara" jesus this guy thinks he matters
He says “if the Queen has a tiara, should everyone have a tiara?”. Ah yeah if they can pay for their own tiara they can. He also thinks he’s a queen lol
How lovely it must be when your biggest worry in life is what colours your neighbour has used on their house!
The south African guy is an absolute hypocrite, I hope the lady gets her home how she likes it.
..i LOVE the Red Stripes!❤😂..brightens the road up lovely!❤
*I think a building warehouse would be appropriate..." 😅😅 Brilliant.
