Rowton Houses was a chain of hostels built in London, England, by the Victorian philanthropist Lord Rowton to provide decent accommodation for working men in place of the squalid lodging houses of the time. George Orwell, in his 1933 book Down and Out in Paris and London, wrote about lodging houses: The Rowton Houses throughout London were: Rowton House, 1 – 9 Bondway, Vauxhall, 1892
Kings Cross, 1894
Parkview House in Newington Butts, 1897. Became the London Park Hotel in the 1970s. Demolished
