English: Arlington Road, London. Opened in 1905 as the last and largest of London's Rowton Houses, built to provide accommodation for single men in the late C19 and early C20. it had accommodation for 1103 men in 985 cubicles and 118 bedrooms.

Rowton Houses were the inspiration of Montagu Corry, Baron Rowton, and conceived as alternatives to the shockingly inadequate and often insanitary accommodation provided by common lodging houses for working men in London in the late 19th century.

In 1983 Arlington House was taken over by Camden Council, and between 1983 and 1988 it was refurbished by Levitt Bernstein Associates. The size of the bedrooms was doubled, and the total capacity of residents more than halved;
