The Lonely Londoners unfolds at Waterloo Station, where hopeful newcomers from the West Indies arrive in 1950s London, ready to start afresh. Moses Aloetta, a homesick resident of the city, meets Henry 'Sir Galahad' Oliver and guides him through the challenges of London life. In a city where the reception to black faces can be less than friendly, Galahad and other lonely newcomers strive to create new lives. Despite the initial hardships, they learn to survive and embrace the exciting possibilities that London has to offer.
