“The London girls did exceptionally well in this years Miss England semi-final,” said Angie Beasley, Miss England Organiser & Director. “As London is the capital we have invited these talented ladies to each represent the area they live or work in London as the judges just couldn’t choose one winner! Any one of these ladies could be the next Miss England and represent the country on the Miss World stage”.
All 5 contestants & the new Miss Sussex will now return to The Grand Station, Wolverhampton, on 20th & 21st November for the two-day Miss England National Final, where one winner will be crowned Miss England 2025 and go on to represent the nation at the 73rd Miss World.
In the run-up to the semi-final & now the final, the contestants are invited to enter a variety of optional rounds — including Sports, Bare Face (Make-Up Free), Talent, Public Vote, and the Beauty with a Purpose Fundraising Challenge — showcasing not only their outer beauty but also their intelligence, creativity, and commitment to charitable causes.
One of the qualifying rounds introduced to Miss England in 2020 is called “Explore the Nation” . This optional round actively encourages the contestants to create a video showcasing the area where they live — highlighting the best places to visit, which is proving to be the most informative round in the competition where Charlotte Yeung showcased the Kings cross and the hidden gems surrounding the area.
