Police have made 12 arrests in east London in connection with the terror attack in which seven people died and 48 were injured.
London's Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement that officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command have this morning, arrested 12 people in Barking, east London, in connection with last night's incidents in London Bridge.
Searches of a number of addresses in Barking are continuing.
Three assailants drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing people on the street in the nearby market area. All three were shot dead by police at the scene.
Britain's interior minister Amber Rudd earlier said the attackers were probably "radical Islamist terrorists".
Rudd also said it did not appear there was a link between the London attackers and a suicide bombing in Manchester on May 22 that killed 22 people outside an Ariana Grande concert.
She said Britain's terror threat level, which currently stands at severe, had not been increased to its highest level of critical because authorities believed "that they have got all the main perpetrators".
