Stranger in the City is a 1961 British short documentary film directed and written by Robert Hartford-Davis.

It is notable for its contemporary views of London including the Soho music venue The 2i's Coffee Bar.

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.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A day in London is depicted in a mixture of (badly) acted and unposed scenes.

Though the everyday life of the capital's millions is scarcely touched upon, the ground covered is familiar to filmgoers, perhaps most of all the supposedly "off-beat" material – pick-up girls, a strip-club.
