Arlington House is a hostel for the homeless in Camden Town, London. It is the last and largest of the Rowton Houses to be built and is the only one to remain in use as a hostel.

George Orwell lived in Arlington House and wrote about the experience in Down and Out in Paris and London, his semi-autobiographical account of living in poverty in both cities.

Arlington House is currently undergoing major government-funded refurbishment, owned and managed by the NOVAS group.
