Arlington is a restaurant located at 20 Arlington Street in London's St James's area.[1][2] Between 1947 and 2020 the building was occupied by Le Caprice, formerly run by Jeremy King and his then business partner Chris Corbin.[3][4][5] It has been described as an 'unabashedly sentimental remastering of Le Caprice' with a similar menu and interior.[6]

It launched on 11 March 2024, following a soft opening during the week prior.[7][8]

Giles Coren, writing in The Times, described the food as 'sort of stuff that you really can eat every day'.[9] William Sitwell, writing in The Daily Telegraph, described the restaurant as a 'favourite for London’s media elite'.[10] Tanya Gold, writing in The Spectator, said that the food was 'five stars, no notes'.[11]
