Lawyers should contact North Kensington Law Centre if they wish to help those affected by the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower, near Ladbroke Grove in west London.

The centre is running free daily drop-in advice clinics, to help those affected gather paperwork or address other legal problems. The fire ripped through the 27-storey tower last week, despite a fast response from the fire brigade, fatally trapping many of the residents. At least 79 people have died or are missing, presumed dead, and all 120 flats in the block have been destroyed.
