Simplex Kensington No.3
10£265.00
The Kensington No. 3 A modern classic, steeped in tradition
In 1903, Newey & Bloomer introduced the world to the original whistling Simplex tea kettle. More than a century later, we still make them the same way - by hand, in England, using the traditional copper-spinning techniques that defined a golden age of craftsmanship.
Now reimagined with a sleek, chrome-plated finish, the Kensington No. 3 Simplex Kettle combines the charm of heritage with the elegance of modern design. Beneath its brilliant shine lies the finest-grade copper - the ultimate conductor of heat - ensuring a faster boil and greater heat retention with every use.
Compatible with gas and electric stoves, the Kensington No. 3 is as practical as it is beautiful. And when it’s ready, listen for its signature Simplex trill - a sound that has delighted generations.
Each kettle is handmade to order, proudly stamped "Made in England," and completely unique.
Please allow 3–4 weeks for dispatch as every kettle is individually crafted.
Not suitable for use on an induction stovetop without an adapter.

GermanyAbsolutely fabulous!
Beautyful design meets high end functionality. We love the decent whistle which is pleasent and never disturbing.
United KingdomWorth waiting for
The kettle is in good proportion, sleek and shiny. It uses much less energy boiling my filtered water on the gas stove than using an electric kettle, making a perfect cup of tea and looks fantastic too. I intend to keep it in tip top condition to make it last for years to come.
United KingdomExcellent
We love our new kettle it is so beautiful !! We will probably never buy another kettle again. We were so fed up with buying electric kettles that lasted a few months a year at the most. Definitely recommend this kettle a good investment.
