    About our Grenfell Tower news

    Latest news on Grenfell Tower in London, covering demolition plans, memorial design, ongoing investigations, and developments since the 2017 tragedy that killed 72 people.

    Grenfell Tower, a 24-storey residential building in North Kensington, London, stands as a powerful symbol of one of Britain's worst modern disasters. The tower, which suffered a catastrophic fire in June 2017 that claimed 72 lives, has become the focus of intense public scrutiny, policy reform, and ongoing calls for justice.

    In February 2025, the government confirmed plans to dismantle Grenfell Tower, with the work expected to take two years. This decision follows extensive consultations with bereaved families and survivors. The Royal Institute of British Architects has shortlisted five design teams to create a memorial on the site, working closely with the independent Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission to ensure the future memorial appropriately honours those who lost their lives.

    The Grenfell community continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and unity. Local groups, including Grenfell United and the Grenfell Next of Kin group, actively participate in discussions about the tower's future. One proposal suggests transforming the structure into a vertical garden memorial, reflecting the community's desire to create a meaningful tribute while preserving the site's significance.

    Originally completed in 1974 as part of the Lancaster West Estate, Grenfell Tower underwent a £10 million renovation in 2016. The building's history became tragically linked to numerous warnings about fire safety, particularly from the Grenfell Action Group, which published ten warnings in the four years preceding the fire. A 2019 inquiry by the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission found that authorities "knew, or ought to have known" about serious safety breaches in the tower's management.

    The NewsNow feed provides authoritative coverage from multiple sources on all aspects of the Grenfell Tower story, from the latest developments in the demolition planning to updates on the memorial design process. Stay informed about this significant chapter in British social history as the community works to ensure that lessons are learned and remembered for future generations.
