Families prevent demolition of Grenfell disaster memorial

A wall inside Grenfell Tower, featuring handprints believed to belong to victims of the 2017 fire, has been saved from demolition following appeals from bereaved families. The handprints, found in the staircase between the 12th and 14th floors, were spotted during site visits before demolition began in September 2025. The government has halted work in those areas while addressing legal action from families seeking to preserve the site for a memorial, emphasizing the importance of handling the tower’s remnants with care and sensitivity.
