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.
