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.

Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar.”
