Police raid several addresses in east London suburb of Barking after attack at London Bridge left seven dead.
Police have arrested 12 suspects linked to Saturday night's attack in central London, the Metropolitan Police said.
Counterterrorism police raided several addresses in the east London suburb of Barking on Sunday, the force said, adding that searches were continuing there.
Four women were seen being led away by police by an AFP photographer, although it was not clear whether they were among those arrested.
At least seven people died and dozens were injured after attackers drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing people at bars and restaurants in nearby Borough Market on Saturday night.
The attack ended after police shot dead three suspected attackers.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick earlier told reporters that she believed the imminent threat from attackers had been ended, but that a fast-moving investigation was still under way.
"We have a very large investigation ongoing, and we will be seeking to establish whether anyone else was working with or assisting in any way or helping in the planning of this attack," she said.
London Bridge is a major transport hub and nearby Borough Market is a fashionable warren of alleyways leavened with bars and restaurants that is always bustling on a Saturday night.
The area remained cordoned off and patrolled by armed police and counterterrorism officers on Sunday, with train stations closed.
