Early Life
Lloyd was born in Dover, England. His father, Harvey Lloyd, was an Anglo-Irish captain with the Royal Navy. He lived in several different places as a child, due to his father's job. This led him only to attend school properly at the age of nine and a half. He was educated at West Hill Park School in Titchfield, Hampshire where he claims that bullying was "endemic", and later The King's School, Canterbury where he was extremely unhappy. He went to Trinity College, Cambridge to read Law, where he was a member of the Footlights. There he befriended, and later shared a flat with, Douglas Adams.
Lloyd is the great nephew of John Hardress Lloyd.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“Of a life of luxury the fruit is luxury, whether in agriculture, or commerce, or literature, or art.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
