Stranger in the City is a 1961 British short documentary film directed and written by Robert Hartford-Davis.[1][2] The film has a music score but no dialogue. It is notable for its contemporary views of London including the Soho music venue The 2i's Coffee Bar.
The film depicts selected unrelated events as a London day progresses. In early morning three tramps awake and eat breakfast; a wealthy businessman phones from his Rolls Royce as his chauffeur drives through the city; a chef prepares breakfast; an acting class is underway; a fire-eating street entertainer amuses the crowd; striptease at The Keyhole Club; a life-drawing class in a cafe; a visit to the 2i's Coffee Bar; police radio cars are on the streets; the tramps retire.
