Albert Peregrine Lloyd was born in Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales on 13 August 1893 and was the son of Daniel Lloyd (1859-1936) a builder and contractor. He trained as an architect in the years preceding World War One and passed his Intermediate Examination qualifying for registration to the Royal Institution of British Architects in 1914. His career as an architect, however, was interrupted by the war. He served with distinction in the Army, being awarded the Military Cross (M.C.).
In 1919 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) and commenced practice as an independent architect in Swansea. In 1924 he relocated to London where he remained for the rest of his career as an architect. He had an office at 7 New Square, Lincoln’s Inn, 1924 and 71 Lincoln’s Inn Fields in 1926 and 1939.
In 1935 he collaborated with fellow architect Edwin Wilfred Collins (1907-1981) in a competition to design five storey flats in reinforced concrete sponsored by the Cement Marketing Company Ltd. They were awarded Second Prize. First Prize went to Berthold Lubetkin and Tecton.
Lloyd was elected a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) in 1939.
His address was given as 25 Brook Green, London in 1925; and 37 Beechwood Avenue, Finchley in 1936 and 1939. By 1950 he had moved to 8 Upper Montagu Street, London where he died on 15 May 1974
