A major evacuation is under way on a London housing estate over fire safety fears in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.
"Grenfell changes everything and I don't believe we can take any risks", Camden Council leader Georgia Gould told reporters, following urgent safety checks.
Officials say they acted because fire officials said they could not guarantee the safety of residents.
Barnet Homes chairman Terry Rogers said contractors would begin work to strip the blocks "as a matter of urgency" and that arrangements were being put in place for residents to be able to test the fire safety of their white goods.
"Our council could not let residents stay overnight".
Peter Bertram, 94, who has lived at the complex for 46 years, said the evacuation came in a "rush". "That's the number I'm really anxious about". "I'll just have to accept it now". Repairs on the building are expected to be completed within three to four weeks. I don't know where we are going to go.
The decision to move residents out of all five towers at Chalcots Estate was made Friday evening.
The insulating product used to clad Grenfell Tower before a disastrous fire will no longer be used on high-rise buildings, the manufacturer has said. Until now, public attention has been focused on external cladding material that is widely used to provide insulation and enhance the appearance of buildings.
Among them were high-rises in the Chalcots Estate in London's Swiss Cottage, where 800 households were evacuated on Friday night.
The inspectors were following up on previously unknown safety complaints from residents, she said.

New Zealand have already been eliminated. "These are two high-quality teams". "If we can do it, we'll be taking a step forward". Santos said key defender Luís Neto is certain to feature in the game today. "I hope we have no surprise".
British Prime Minister Theresa May has tweeted that her thoughts are with hundreds of public housing residents who are being evacuated because of fire safety concerns.
The department also said cladding attached to the 24- story public housing project during a recent renovation failed safety tests conducted by investigators, and that police have seized documents from a number of organisations. But being told that we have to leave is just ridiculous.
The Government has ordered an immediate examination by experts of the FF175BP model and Hotpoint said it is working with the authorities in order to assist in the investigation.
It also emerged that the Grenfell blaze was started when a Hotpoint fridge-freezer caught fire.
Hotpoint said it was working with authorities to examine the appliance, adding "words can not express our sorrow at this bad tragedy". Early tests of materials used on the building's exterior returned alarming results, she said.
Buildings in London, Manchester and Plymouth are among those where problem cladding has been identified.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue confirmed that every high-rise building in Cheshire is regularly inspected for fire safety by the service's prevention and protection teams.
Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack was asked on Friday whether the insulation and aluminium tiles used on Grenfell were acceptable for such buildings.
The blaze left at least 79 people dead or missing presumed dead while six people remain in hospital, two in a critical condition. The call comes after London Mayor Sadiq Khan's pledge to seek an amnesty for people who may have been living in the tower illegally. Carl McDowell, 31, said he took one look at the inflatable beds offered on the floor of the leisure center and went back to his own apartment.
Labour has stepped up its attack on the Government over the tragedy, with shadow home secretary Diane Abbott claiming the victims died as "a direct outcome of Tory attitudes in social housing".
