A 21-year-old man is being held in custody for a week after being arrested by counter-terror police.
The man, who has not been named by police, was detained on Saturday from a property in east London.
He is suspected of the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.
While the suspect is in custody, Metropolitan Police officers are searching the property.
The Met, who confirmed the man will be held until 4 January, said the arrest is not related to the London Bridge terror attack on 29 November.
