Simplex Kensington No.3
$349.95
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.
