Four men face a second day of questioning by officers investigating what Scotland Yard say is an "Islamist-related" plot.
The men, all aged 20 or 21, were arrested in raids throughout the day on Tuesday which saw one of them Tasered.
Whitehall officials have said the operation "may have foiled the early stages" of a planned attack in the UK.
Under terror legislation the men could be held without charge and questioned for up to 14 days.
They were detained under the Terrorism Act on suspicion of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism.
Syria-Iraq linkMet Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told BBC London radio it was a "quite serious case".
"It is one of a series of arrests that we have had over the last few weeks which, taken together, for me confirm that the drumbeat around terrorism has changed.
"It's a more intense drumbeat - we are having to be more interventionist and a lot of it is linked back to Syria and Iraq.
"These are arrests that in some way or other have got that sort of link."
Security authorities believe more than 500 British nationals have travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight on behalf of Islamic State and other militant groups.
'On top of things'Scotland Yard would not comment on where the four men were being held.
Officials said one of them had spent time in Syria.
On Tuesday a number of homes and vehicles were searched by specialist officers in west and central London as part of the investigation.
The 21-year-old, who was Tasered during the operation, was not injured and did not require medical treatment, police said.
"I don't want to worry the people of London," Sir Bernard added. "We are here to keep them safe and we believe we are on top of things.
"But there are some concerns about the people we are having to arrest."
