An apartment block is still using the same type of cladding used by Grenfell Tower, as today marks two years since the blaze that killed 72 people.
Two years on from the horrific fire, the controversial material which allowed the devastating fire to spread in London remains on the Hamptons luxury apartments in Gillingham Marina.
The owner of the tower was told to remove the Grenfell-style cladding more than a year ago.

But concerns remain on the anniversary of the Grenfell fire, which claimed 72 lives.
In the wake of the inferno, Kent Fire and Rescue Service carried out safety checks at all apartment blocks rising more than six storeys across the county.
Among those to be checked was Carl Ekman House in Northfleet, which was found to be safe.
Last year the Hamptons was found to have the same cladding which was criticised in the wake of hte blaze in North Kensington.
Interim safety measures were put in place to ensure the safety of residents.
A year on, the cladding has still not been taken down.
Medway Council's chief legal officer Perry Holmes said: “The safety of all of our residents is our main priority and we will continue to pursue this case to ensure the works are carried out.”
