Caballeros is a novel by British author Warwick Collins, published in 2002. The story follows Ezekiel Murphy, a black Jamaican who works in the men's restrooms near Charing Cross station in London. Alongside his boss, Josiah Reynold, and Jason, a young Antillean, Ezekiel faces the "reptiles", the homosexuals who frequent the restrooms, in a battle promoted by the city council. Through this experience, the three Jamaicans discover common ground with the "reptiles", exploring themes of tolerance and difference in a splendid urban fable.
