At least 30 people have died in the Grenfell Tower fire, police have revealed.
She has faced growing criticism after failing to meet victims during a visit of the base of the tower site following the blaze.
Activists held up posters with pictures of people still missing after the deadly inferno.
Earlier this week she was criticised for not meeting members of the public when she visited Grenfell Tower in the aftermath of the disaster.
"I thought the way they expressed themselves with a mixture of passion and reason was fantastic", he said.

The death toll from the fire is expected to rise as around 70 people are still missing, according to Britain's Press Association.
In addition to debate over the cladding, questions have also been raised over why there was no sprinkler system in the Grenfell Tower which could have helped stop the fire spreading, or any central smoke alarm system that would have woken sleeping residents.
She met injured survivors in hospital yesterday.

Naomi Long of the non-sectarian Alliance Party said May did not reassure her of the government's neutrality in Northern Irish matters.
It has since emerged that the U.S. had banned the type of cladding thought to have been used on Grenfell Tower. May was jeered after she made a visit to the community Friday. "If more funding is required, it will be provided", May said, while more than 1,000 protesters rallied outside her residence Saturday.
The blaze, which consumed the entire 24-storey block of flats, is being looked into by investigators to determine what exactly caused it, and whether or not criminal misconduct contributed to the severity of it.
Rania, 30, was trapped on the 23rd floor of the Grenfell Tower along with her two children Fathia, aged five, and Hania, aged three.
Protesters gathered to call for help for the residents of the burned building, and the BBC reports that dozens of people "stormed Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall with a list of demands".
Around 70 people are missing, according to Britain's Press Association, and identification of the victims is proving very hard.
Defending the way Mrs May had handled the tragedy, First Secretary of State, Damian Green said suggestions the Prime Minister does not seem to have what it takes to respond to such a disaster were "terribly unfair".
London Police said an investigation had been launched to determine whether the blaze involved any crimes and May announced a public inquiry, a type of probe that's used to investigate issues of major public concern.
"Everyone affected by this tragedy needs reassurance that the Government is there for them at this bad time - and that is what I am determined to provide".
"It says: "[The inquiry] must be empowered to consider all the steps that were, or were not, taken leading up to and contributing to this most awful incident.
