The insurance market made a pre-tax profit of £1.53bn in the half year to 30 June.
This compares with a loss of £697m a year earlier, when it was hit by claims relating to the Japanese tsunami of March 2011.
Lloyd's said insurance claims were down by a third.
Chief executive Richard Ward said: "This is a welcome return to profit for the market, after a six-month period that could not be in greater contrast to the first half of 2011.
"The result has certainly been helped by the favourable claims climate."
