About us

Kimpton Fitzroy London is now open following a multi-million pound refurbishment from top to toe. Originally opened in 1898 by the Frederick Hotels Company, and designed by Charles Fitzroy Doll, Kimpton Fitzroy London is a Grade II* listed ‘grande dame’ hotel that occupies the eastern flank of Russell Square in Bloomsbury. The new-look hotel will combine the rich heritage of the original building with a thoroughly modern sensibility. It will combine the glamour of its heritage with the character of its location, which connects the West End to the south with the City to the east and revitalised King’s Cross just five minutes away to the north.

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.
