A diverse group of people from across the United Kingdom had travelled to London for the protest, but were faced with criticism from locals.

The group were asking for justice

getwestlondon was told how residents of the tower that was gutted by a fire on June 14 did not want their grief hijacked by a violent protest.

Louise Robertson travelled from Scotland to London for the march.

"We really hope that they will appreciate it" she said.

I've brought a banner down from Scotland with the names of nearly 200 people from my small area who are horrified at what happened in that fire and they wanted to lend their support to local people."

An open mic for people to speak from at Shepherd's Bush green.

Karen Doyle, one of the national organisers for Movement for Justice said: "The government is guilty of murder and we can't afford to accept another five years of a government who puts profit before people.

"Our march today is to express the anger that people are feeling and to demand that this government is brought down.

"Anger doesn't do justice to was people are feeling not just in this community but across the country, Its a deep and passionate anger thats built upon years of neglect and attacks and abuse.

There is a heavy police presence

"We have never said that we are speaking for the victims or survivors of the Grenfell, we wouldn't do that.

"But what we've found when we've spoke to people on the streets is an absolute desire that this not die down, that people's anger just disappears.

"People want their anger felt and they are blaming squarely what happened on the government and RBKC."
