Makers of the Original Simplex Kettle - since 1903
When you welcome a Simplex Kettle into your home, you're embracing more than a beautifully made object - you’re bringing in a piece of British history, a work of functional art, and a trusted companion in your kitchen for generations to come.
Genuine. Original. Unmistakably Simplex.
Traditional Simplex
Traditional Styles: Kensington, Buckingham & Highgrove
Step into a world where tradition, craftsmanship, and quiet elegance come together. The Kensington, Buckingham, and Highgrove kettles represent the heart of the Simplex collection - each one handcrafted in England using the same time-honoured copper-spinning techniques first introduced in 1903.
Crafted from the finest copper - renowned for its superior heat conduction - these kettles are made to perform beautifully and last a lifetime. Choose from warm, polished copper or our mirror-finish chrome plating, which adds a touch of refinement and is delightfully easy to keep clean.
The Kensington is a flat-bottomed classic, with smooth, elegant lines, it’s perfect for gas and electric stovetops.
The Buckingham originally designed for open-flame stoves, features a distinctive coiled base that now offers rapid boiling on gas stoves with a touch of vintage flair.
The Highgrove purpose-built for AGAs and other solid hotplate cookers, includes a heavier flat base for optimal heat transference - making it the ideal partner for range-style stoves.
Each kettle features the original Simplex whistle - cleverly built into the lid - and is proudly stamped “Made in England,” a hallmark of lasting quality and heritage.
Whether you choose Kensington, Buckingham, or Highgrove, these traditional Simplex kettles bring beauty, character, and a sense of ceremony to your tea-time ritual.
The Beehive Collection
Hand crafted, built to last, loved for generations.
In the 1950s, we introduced the Simplex Beehive Kettle - a timeless classic that quickly became a household favourite. Seven decades later, it’s still capturing hearts with its elegant form, unmatched durability, and rich heritage.
The Beehive Collection embodies everything we stand for; honest craftsmanship, iconic British design, and enduring performance. Its signature beehive shape is as striking today as it was in the mid-20th century - with their charmingly assertive whistle atop the spout, the Beehive is an heirloom in the making.
Available in polished copper or gleaming chrome, each kettle is a shining example of traditional British manufacturing at its finest. And with models now compatible with gas, electric, and solid plate stovetops (including Agas and Rayburns), there’s a Beehive for every kitchen.
Bring home a little piece of England - and enjoy the perfect cup of tea for a lifetime.
