On the 14th of June 2017, a fire tore through Grenfell Tower in West London. Within hours, the blaze had engulfed almost the entire 24-storey building, leading to the deaths of 72 people and leaving hundreds more injured or displaced.

Grenfell was not just a tragedy of unimaginable loss, it became a symbol of systemic failure. Questions arose about the safety of high-rise housing, the cladding used on the tower, and the way residents’ repeated warnings were ignored. The fire highlighted deep issues of inequality, neglect, and accountability within modern Britain.

In this episode, we revisit the events of that night, the heroic rescue attempts, the stories of those who survived, and the aftermath that continues to affect families, campaigners, and the country at large. Grenfell is more than a single event. It is a lasting reminder of the importance of justice, responsibility, and listening to communities before disaster strikes.
