A 27-year-old man has been arrested by anti-terror officers in connection with the alleged July 21 attempted bombings of the capital.
The man was held at 11.40am in Kensington Church Street, Kensington, west London by officers from Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch.
He was arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.
The man has been taken to Paddington Green police station in London for questioning.
Two houses and one business premises in west London are being searched.
The man held today is not suspected of having been involved in the planning of the alleged attempted attacks.
He is the 44th person to be arrested in connection with Scotland Yard's investigation into the events of July 21, which is codenamed Operation Vivace.
A spokeswoman for the force said: "At approximately 11.40am today a 27-year-old man was arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation into the alleged attempted bomb attacks on the London transport network on July 21.
"The man was arrested in the street in Kensington Church Street by officers from the Met's Anti-Terrorist Branch on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.
"He has been taken to a central London police station where he will be interviewed.
"Searches are currently being carried out at two residential premises and one business premises in west London."
A total of 16 of those arrested so far have been charged in relation to the events of July 21 last year.
Five men have been charged with conspiracy to murder and are due to stand trial at the Old Bailey in September.
They are Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, Ramzi Mohammed, 23, Yassin Omar, 24, Manfo Asiedu, 32, and Hussain Osman, 27.
A sixth man, 23-year-old Adel Yahya, is accused of conspiracy to cause explosions "of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property".
The other 10 people are variously charged with failing to disclose information about suspects in the alleged bombings and assisting them in evading arrest.
