Grenfell 8 Years On – 14th June 2025<\/strong>: Usually I write about events in the past, but today I’m thinking about something that will take place this evening in Notting Hill on the eight anniversary of the terrible Grenfell Tower fire on 14 June 2017. I’ll put the invitation to join this evening’s silent walk by Grenfell United at the end of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight years have passed, a long and detailed inquiry has taken place, but still we have seen no justice. Before long the tower will be taken down and the government will be hoping that we will all forget the terrible crimes that led to the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The essential details were largely known well before the inquiry began, within a month or two of the fire. More would have come out in court had prosecutions begun then. Instead we have had 8 years with little or no action, and certainly no justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight days after the fire, Architects for Social Housing held an open meeting with residents, housing campaigners, journalists, lawyers, academics, engineers and architects about it, and the following month produced a report, THE TRUTH ABOUT GRENFELL TOWER<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to many of the silent walks that have taken place to remember Grenfell – the images here are from the first anniversary on 14th June 2018, when around 10,000 people took part. I’l post the link to this event and to that in 2019 at the bottom of the post. As well as many more pictures these also contain more of my comments on the fire and its aftermath. And you can find more events I covered related to the fire by a search for ‘Grenfell’ on My London Diary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us at the Silent Walk for the 8th Anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire on 14 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 years on. No arrests. No justice. The tower is a stark reminder of what happened that night but the government has decided it’s time to bring it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk with us to show them you still stand united with the Grenfell Community. They want the tower out of sight. But we won’t stop until the criminals are brought to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grenfell Silent Walk to remember the 72 people who died at Grenfell, to honour their memory and demand justice starts at 6pm at Notting Hill Methodist Church. Please wear green in solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
